Digital Cartographic Model of 3D Cadastre: An Initial Design and Implementation

Despite the abundant research discoveries in 3D cadastre visualization, there still lacks a synthesis method of concreate symbology instructions and 3D graphical content as an easy entry for designers, implementors, and visualization systems. In cartography domain, introducing DCM (Digital Cartographic Model) on top of DLM (Digital Landscape...

Conversion of 2D Analogue Cadastral Boundary Plans into 3D Digital Information – problems and challenges illustrated by a Swedish case

The possibility of forming 3D property units has not existed for a long time in Sweden. The legislation was introduced in 2004 and in 2009 the addition of apartment ownership (condominium) was added. Even though the demand for 3D property formation has not been as high yet as initially expected, there seems to be an increased interest in and...

Design Support for revisable buildings with focus on visualizing and simulating transformation capacity during initial design phase

Instead of designing buildings as static structures with one end of life option (demolition) circular buildings should be open upgradable platforms, transformable structures that can accommodate changing use and technical requirements across their whole Life Cycle. Rather than destroying buildings while adapting them to fit into new requirements...

Performing Realism: Interactive real-time-rendered stereoscopic animations for architectural design process

Realistic renderings contain a large amount of information about the spatial, geometric and material properties of prospective buildings that can directly affect design decisions, yet these images are most of the time used as after-the-fact representational visualizations. In this paper we propose a model to make the realistic images a very part...

Visualization Principles in 3D Cadastre: A First Assessment of Visual Variables

This paper proposes to investigate which among visual variables are more appropriate (if they are) for geo-visualization of 3D legal units in a probable 3D cadastre system. Visual variables, as proposed by Bertin (1983), include position, size, shape, value, color, orientation and texture. The appropriateness is evaluated base on whether a...

The space-scale cube: An integrated model for 2D polygonal areas and scale

This paper introduces the concept of a space-scale partition, which we term the space-scale cube – analogous with the space-time cube (first introduced by Hägerstrand, 1970). We take the view of '"map generalization is extrusion of 2D data into the third dimension" (as introduced by Vermeij et al., 2003). An axiomatic approach formalizes the...

Considering internal space layout as a majore component of visual analysis for urban systems and a key to reinterpret urban structures

Reviving neglected existing urban fabrics is one of the main frame-work for our future. A contemporary theory of conservation regarding architectural intervention and buildings subsequent re-use, has been developed to address a growing number of tired and neglected buildings. Rehabilitation is required for buildings that are no longer fit to...

The Virtual Terminal: Visualizing Automated Container Terminals

Automation in maritime container terminals is gaining momentum as the advantages in terms of total life cycle costs have become apparent in western countries. However, expertise and experience in the design, development and operation of automated terminals is still limited. Many stakeholders or actors are involved in the design process and the...

Unsteady separated fluid flows around a sphere in the wide range of the Reynolds and Froude numbers

The homogeneous (1 < Re < 5000000) and stratified (0.004 < Fr < 1, 10 < Re < 1000) viscous incompressible fluid flows around a sphere have been investigated by means of the direct numerical simulation (DNS) and the visualization of the vortex structures in the wake. In case of the homogeneous fluid at 200 < Re < 1000 the detailed formation...
