Interactive Visual Simulation of Coastal Landscape Change

چکیده
This paper describes and evaluates the application of the interactive landscape visualisation system Biosphere3D in a case study of cliff erosion in Norfolk, on the eastern coast of England. The study builds upon previous work on coastal zone management by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia. Biosphere3D is an open-source system, which supports multiple scales on a virtual globe, loads GIS data at runtime, and focuses on real-time rendering of vegetation and foreground detail. The 3D landscape model has been developed by using scientific modelling data on cliff retreat to define changes in digital elevation models and then incorporating other spatially referenced content to represent natural and man-made features. We compare the use of Biosphere 3D with previously-employed visualisation techniques and discuss the requirements of digital globes to support more convincing depiction of local visual landscape impacts of global change.

Stigmergy in comparative settlement choice and palaeoenvironment simulation
Decisions on settlement location in the face of climate change and coastal inundation may have resulted in success, survival or even catastrophic failure for early settlers in many parts of the world. In this study we investigate various questions related to how individuals respond to a palaeoenvironmental simulation, on an interactive tabletop device where participants have the opportunity to ...

متن کاملMulti-Temporal Assessment of Mangrove Forests Change in the Coastal Areas of Bushehr Region Based on Landsat Satellite Imagery
Continual access to precise information about the land use/land cover (LULC) changes of the Earth’s surface is extremely important for any sustainable development program in which LULC serves as one of the major input criteria. In this study, a supervised classification was applied to three Landsat images collected in 1986, 1998and 2018, providing mangrove forests change data in the coastal are...
متن کاملInteractive 3D landscape assessment models
The term “interactive 3D visualisation” has been defined as “a simulation employing real time 3D graphics to represent the visual form of an area of landscape in which the user can control the viewing position to freely explore all the aspects of the land form” (MORGAN ET AL. 2009). Bishop (2005) and Schroth (2007) conclude that interactive 3D visualisations are suitable for facilitating discus...
