Visualising Coastal Seabed Characteristics: Using Vrml Models to Present Three Dimensional Spatial Data via the Web
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geoscience Australia (GA) has recently produced a number of free Webviewable 3D models for coastal data. These models are good tools for sharing information with Coastal CRC partners and stakeholders. The models integrate a diverse range of spatial data within an easy to use interface. Datasets include multi-beam bathymetry and backscatter, sediment characteristics, benthic habitats and satellite imagery. The models use the open source and ISO standard Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) file format. The models are best demonstrated by the Keppel Bay and Fitzroy River area 3D Model. These coastal 3D VRML models contain developments that have progressed GA’s 3D VRML

Using VRML for Hypermapping in Spatial Planning
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is an Internet standard for describing three-dimensional scenes. A few cartographers are currently examining its use for cartographic presentation. In this paper, VRML is compared to other techniques of distributing geographic information via the World-Wide Web. A concept for linking VRML-de ned maps to documents contained in the Zeno discussion foru...

متن کاملThree-Dimensional Visualization of Soil Electrical Conductivity Variation by VRML
High quality three-dimensional (3-D) earth data is very important for environmental assessment studies, precision agriculture and water quality simulation modeling. In the present study, the soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) inversed by the EM38 linear model from aboveground EM38 measurements were selected as the data source of 3-D spatial variability. Firstly, the sphere model which ...
متن کاملThe Use of Vrml for Virtual Soil Landscape Modeling
The utilization of three-dimensional (3-D) graphical design and scientific visualization of the soil landscape continuum is still in its infancy. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) to create virtual 3-D soil landscape models representing natural soil landscape components. Virtual Reality Modeling Language is an object-oriented, 3-D...
متن کاملVisual Communication in Urban Planning and Urban Design
This Case Study documents the current status of visual communication in urban design and planning. Visual communication is examined through discussion of standalone and network media, specifically concentrating on visualisation on the World Wide Web (WWW). First, we examine the use of Solid and Geometric Modelling for visualising urban planning and urban design. This report documents and compar...
