A Tetrahedronized Irregular Network Based DBMS approach for 3D Topographic Data Modeling

چکیده
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. The internal structure is based on a network of simplexes, which are well defined, and very suitable for keeping the 3D data set consistent. More complex 3D features are based on this simple structure and computed when needed. We describe an implementation of this 3D model on a commercial DBMS. We also show how a 2D visualizer can be extended to visualize these 3D objects.

Updating Features in a TEN-based DBMS approach for 3D Topographic Data Modelling
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 identi...
متن کاملAn Irregular Lattice Pore Network Model Construction Algorithm
Pore network modeling uses a network of pores connected by throats to model the void space of a porous medium and tries to predict its various characteristics during multiphase flow of various fluids. In most cases, a non-realistic regular lattice of pores is used to model the characteristics of a porous medium. Although some methodologies for extracting geologically realistic irregular net...
متن کاملCorrelation between IP and Rs and grade data in modeling and evaluation of a copper deposit, case study: the Sarbisheh copper deposit, Iran
This paper addresses the application of integrated chargeability and resistivity method and grade data in modeling and evaluation of copper deposits. We argue that the relationship between IP, Rs and grade data may be used for modeling and reserve estimation and tested this argument for Sarbisheh copper deposit that is located in eastern Iran. Geology and mineralization situation of Sarbisheh d...
متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
