Updating Features in a TEN-based DBMS approach for 3D Topographic Data Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In earlier research a TEN (Tetrahedronised Irregular Network)-based DBMS approach for modelling 3D Topography was developed. This topological 3D data model relies on Poincaré algebra. Topographic features are modelled within the TEN as set of constraints. This paper focuses on the way in which these constraints can be inserted (incrementally). It is shown that 16 theoretical cases can be identified, in which 9 unique cases will be distinguished. A more comprehensive discussion can be found in the accompanying Technical Report (Penninga and Van Oosterom 2006).

A star-based data structure to store efficiently 3D topography in a database
For storing and modelling three-dimensional topographic objects (e.g. buildings, roads, dykes and the terrain), tetrahedralisations have been proposed as an alternative to boundary representations. While in theory they have several advantages, current implementations are either not space efficient or do not store topological relationships (which makes spatial analysis and updating slow, or requ...
متن کاملA Tetrahedronized Irregular Network Based DBMS approach for 3D Topographic Data Modeling
Topographic features such as physical objects become more complex due to increasing multiple land use. Increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable (urban) development leads to the need for 3D planning and analysis. As a result, topographic products need to be extended into the third dimension. In this paper, we developed a new topological 3D data model that relies on Poincaré algebra....
متن کامل3D Topographic Data Modelling: Why Rigidity Is Preferable to Pragmatism
In this paper two concepts for modelling 3D topography are introduced. The first concept is a very pragmatic approach of 3D modelling, trying to model as much as possible in (less complicated) 2.5D and use 3D modelling only in exceptional cases. The idea is to use a constrained TIN in 2.5D and place 3D TENs on top or below this surface. As both data structures use the same simplexes (nodes, edg...
