Specific challenges for 3D data • large amounts of data (acquisition & storage) • expertise and specific tooling required for data processing • data models and standards • adequate visualization tools • data dissemination
How do we fit in? • Data Storage • Data Lifecycle Management • Data Analysis • for all variations of spatial data • Vector, Raster, Point Clouds, TINs, Networks, Topologies, ...
Why use a database?! • Moving Spatial data into IT infrastructure allows to • Lower data management cost • Simplify application development • Integrate with other enterprise data • Enable development teams to focus on business context, not infrastructure services • Database and Application Server manage deployment infrastructure • Security • Scalability • Standards Compliance • Load Balancing • Failover • HW/SW Dependencies • Support multiple application models with common data model • Java • GML • Future … • .Net• Web Services/SOA
Data acquisition in 3D • large volumes of point data acquired by sensors • LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) • Seismic sensors • millions of points to model a scene • data type to efficiently manage this data • SDO_PC: can handle billions of points • Triangulated Irregular Network: create surfaces from point data sets • SDO_TIN: scalable storage
General 3D processing flow Convert to Geometries LiDAR Files LiDAR loader Query and Clip TIN tables Generate TIN SDO_PC tables Load point cloud Query and Clip Convert to Geometries Flat files Point Tables
Data loading using libLAS • available from http://liblas.org/ • for Windows, download and install pre-build binaries in the OSGeo4W package http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ • A packaging of a number of open source tools: libraries, desktop GIS (Quantum, Grass, …), servers (UMN Mapserver, …) • main tools (see http://liblas.org/docs.html for details) • lasinfo = returns information about a LAS file • las2oci = loads a LAS file into Oracle • las2las = copy and transform a LAS file • las2txt = converts a LAS file to a text format • txt2las = the reverse
Management of 3D data • correct, integral usage of height information („z“) • 3D indexing and query • coordinate system support • ability to model 3D objects • points, lines, polygons with „z“ • solids, surfaces • point clouds • need for higher-level data models • eg. support for CityGML data model
Constructing 3D objects • Simple Surfaces • Face = 3D Polygon • Composite Surface • Multiple connected faces • Simple Solid • Closed composite surface • Composite Solid • Multiple connected simple solids • Extrusion • Generating solids from 2D polygons
Data models for City Modelling • Structures at multiple levels of detail • Textures and facades • Orthophotos • Versioning • 3DCityDB (open source data model) is widely used LOD1 Building LOD2 Building LOD3 Building LOD4 Building Images courtesy of: Research Center Karlsruhe
City of Berlin – 3D City Model • 550000 buildings, reconstructed from 2D cadastre and LIDAR data • Textures extracted from oblique aerial photography • Stored in 3DCityDB • 2012 Oracle Spatial Excellence Award • Implemented by TU Berlin Images courtesy of: TU Berlin, Institute for Geodesy and Geoinformation
Summary • integrated storage and management of all relevant data types • scalability to huge amounts of data and large numbers of users • comprehensive tooling and partner solution portfolio • leveraging key features of Oracle Database
