9783540608561: Integration of Spatial Information for Geo-Information Systems

Synopsis

This work presents a model for the integration of spatial information for 3D Geo-Information Systems (3D-GISs). Such systems execute the integration of spatial information by conversion of vector and raster representations. This, however, leads to conceptual difficulties because of the totally different paradigms. After an introduction to the history and architecture of Geo-Information Systems, this work examines spatial representations in 2D and 3D space regarding their suitability in 3D-GISs. A three-level notion of space serves as a basis of a model for the integration of spatial information. It likewise takes into account the geometry, metrics and the topology of geo-objects.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This series reports new developments in research and teaching in the entire field of earth sciences - quickly, informally, and at a high level. The timeliness of a manuscript is more important than its form, which may be unfinished or tentative. The type of material considered for publication includes : * drafts of original papers or monographs, * technical reports of high quality and broad interest, * advanced-level lectures, * reports of meetings, provided they are of exceptional interest and focused on a single topic. Publication of Lecture Notes is intended as a service to the international community of earth scientists in that the publisher Springer-Verlag offers global distribution of documents which would otherwise have a restricted readership. Once published and copyrighted they can be cited in the scientific literature.
