Faculty OTB Research Institute for the Built Environment Department OTB Onderzoek Date 2010-09-01 Abstract Advances in technologies to collect elevation data are far superior to the advances to store and process the resulting point clouds. This paper investigates the use of a DBMS to store and manage not only the points coming from massive point-based datasets, but also a TIN of these points. TINs are used as a support structure to implement processing and manipulation operators. I discuss in the paper why storing efficiently a TIN in a DBMS is a complex task, and I propose a new solution. It does not store explicitly triangles, as only the star of each point is stored. The details of the data structure are discussed and compared with other solutions currently available.
