APPROACHES OF NATIONAL 3D MAPPING: RESEARCH RESULTS AND STANDARDISATION IN PRACTICE

Over the past ten years technologies for generating, maintaining and using 3D geo-information have matured. For national mapping agencies one of the challenges is how to best extend 2D data into 3D data, making best use of research results and available technologies. Some mapping organisations are m...

For national mapping agencies one of the challenges is how to best extend 2D data into 3D data, making best use of research results and available technologies.
