3D GIS Modeling at Semantic Level using CityGML for Urban Segment

Acknowledgement The presented research is part of my M. Tech. Project work that has been carried out at Indian Institute of Remote Sensing. The guidance and support of colleagues in the making of the thesis deserve a special mention. It is a pleasure to convey my gratitude to them all in my humble acknowledgement. The first of all I am extremely indebted to my supervisor, Dr. Sameer Saran, Scientist 'SE', GID, IIRS. This work would not have been possible without his valuable guidance and support. Under his guidance I successfully overcame many difficulties and learned a lot. He has given me a freedom to explore and learn new things throughout the project. I gratefully acknowledge his valuable suggestions not only bounded for my project work but also for my better career prospective in the field of 3D geoinformation. His conviction will always inspire me to work hard. (Scientist, CSIR) for giving me a learning opportunity during course curriculum. My deep sense of gratitude towards my friend Unmesh Khati, for helping and encouraging me willingly and selflessly during my research endeavour. iv I owe a special gratitude to my loving brother Harshad, my parents and relatives for advising, educating and awarding me independence till now. I owe everything to them. Besides this, I thank all colleagues who have knowingly and unknowingly helped me in the successful completion of this project. v Certificate This is to certify that Mr. Parag Sudhir Wate has carried out the dissertation entitled " 3D GIS Modeling at Semantic Level using CityGML for Urban Segment " in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of M.
