Abstract

Urban 3D visualization is an exciting domain, with a growing number of important applications. Researches on VR (Virtual Reality) and GIS (Geographic Information System) provide strong technological support for real-time visualization of urban scenery. This paper focuses on the interconnection and interoperability between urban 3D visualization technology and GIS, including a scheme to exchange data between the GIS database and rendering engines for visualization, navigation and manipulation. A virtual scene of IRSA (Institute of Remote Sensing Applications), based in Beijing, China, which shows a fusion between urban 3D visualization and GIS is presented and realized.
