Preface
Society is expecting and demanding more 3D support since users have experienced the added value in emerging visualisation applications such as 3D globe based interfaces, navigation systems presenting a 3D perspective, etc. Due to the rapid developments in sensor techniques more 3D data have become available. Effective algorithms for (semi) automatic object reconstruction are required. Integration of existing 2D objects with height data is a non-trivial process, and further research is needed. The resulting 3D models can be maintained in several forms: TEN (Tetrahedral Network), constructive solid geometry (CSG) models, regular polytopes, TIN boundary representation and 3D volume quad edge structure, layered/topology models, voxel based models, 3D models used in urban planning/polyhedrons, and n-dimensional models including time. 3D analysis and 3D simulation techniques explore and extend the possibilities of spatial applications. In such a dynamic scientific environment, it is very important to have high quality and an open exchange of ideas on these new developments. It is also very important to carefully review and document the progress that is made. This book and the associated 3D GeoInfo workshop are an attempt to achieve this goal. The workshop is the second in a series on 3D geo-information. T
