Feature-based multi-resolution topography
Brůha, Lukáš ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bodum, Lars (referee) ; Bandrova, Temenoujka (referee)
A three-dimensional (3D) representation of the topographic surface is an important element in planning, civil engineering and mapping. Many state-of-the-art representa- tions provided graphical, 3D model of entire planet. However, the existing solutions to 3D topographic surface lack the geometric flexibility and accuracy on boundaries with models of other geographic features. Most of the contemporary approaches to digital Earth solutions focus on the visualization performance. The high visual performance is achieved by the use of special data structures optimized for rendering. However, this optimization towards visualization hampers the data management of spatial data, their analysis and distribution. Therefore, the introduced solution reflects on multiple requirements of digital Earth systems. In addition to the visualization performance, the requirements regarding data interoperability, data management and distribution, data analysis and the multiple level of detail (LOD) are considered as essential for the design of the new solution. The topographic surface is central to the proposed method. It provides the defining surface in terms of which other features can be geographically referenced to. Therefore, this work introduces a new, more functional data representation of multi-resolution...
