Abstract :
The rapid increase in the availability of geospatial data has motivated the effort to seamlessly integrate this information into an information-rich and realistic 3D environment. However, heterogeneous data sources with varying degrees of consistency and accuracy pose a challenge to such efforts. We describe the geospatial decision making (GeoDec) system, which accurately integrates satellite imagery, three-dimensional models, textures and video streams, road data, maps, point data and temporal data. The system also includes a glove-based user interface
