A Service Stack for 3D Visualization of GIS Based Urban Pipe Network

This paper studies the functional services of the 3D visualization of urban pipe network (UPN). In accordance with the characteristics of the UPN and its demands for 3D visualization. The division of the visualization services of the 3D visualization of UPN is researched, then a structure of services division named service stack is propose in this paper, which is applicable to the 3D visualization of UPN. The service stack provides a unified standard for the development of the 3D visualization of UPN, simplifies the process of the system development, and provides the system with good compatibility, scalability and reusability. Key technologies about the service stack are also discussed in this paper. Finally, based on the service stack, a prototype of urban pipe network 3D visualization system is implemented.
