3D VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES IN CARTOGRAPHY

For the 1 st time the stated 3D-Visualization-Techniques in Cartography claim for completeness. As shown, 3DVisualization-Techniques promise a great future for advanced 3D cartographic products as well as for a new solid state 3D-PC(screen)generation. To stimulate the interest in 3D-presentation, samples of masterpieces of historic and of recent international 3Dphotographs, related to Cartography, are presented. As in this respect some Million analogue 3D-photographs wait for digitization, this paper reports on Archives for 3Dphotographs and recommends optimum digitization rates. In addition this contribution is on exposing digital 3D-photographs for,e.g., Cartographic-Heritage. Here the authors’10m X-Lite telescope-staff-camera promises a great future for extremely large scale mapping purposes, including quasi ground truth. Finally the authors, who, in cooperation with Professor Lee Jin Duk, chair CIPA task-group3 on 3D-photographs in Cultural-Heritage, maintain the website 3dsite.icomos.org, as carried out by Kim, Seung Sun.
