3D Geospatial: Project Implementation Methods and Best Practices

The convergence of new technologies and business requirements is fostering a new wave of 3D geospatial applications that allow users to access virtual built environments.  Urban governments are using complex 3D data and visualization tools to support emergency preparedness, urban planning, and many other business practices.

This course introduces the data, systems, and processes to be considered when implementing 3D applications.  Using extensive case studies and several group exercises, attendees will learn how to navigate the dizzying array of options and prepare for a sustainable 3D geospatial practice.

Specific topics include:

• Guidelines for project implementations using 3D technologies
• Introduction to a wide range of 3D analysis  and visualization software
• Aerial and terrestrial 3D data acquisition methods, as well as update techniques
• Case studies of urban applications
• An introduction to 3D data models, including emerging open standards and best practices for model development

Intended Audience: Project managers creating or maintaining 3D data, geospatial data analysts considering integration of 3D technology, and local and regional government leaders implementing 3D geospatial programs.
