Virtual Brisbane for 3D City Planning
By Spatial Source on 13 May, 2010JONATHON POWERS The world of 3D visualisation is rapidly maturing, at least in applications designed for city planning. This is not so much about the model itself. Practical 3D modelling capability has been around for the best part of two decades. Rather, it’s about the interfaces that now exist between GIS and visualisation, and the […]
Mapping the Ocean Floor
By Spatial Source on 13 May, 2010JON FAIRALL It’s a truism that the surfaces of Mars and the Moon are better mapped that the surface of the Earth. Three-quarters of our globe is covered by a layer of water several kilometres thick. Mapping through the murk is difficult and expensive. However, the news is not all bad. New technologies are making […]
Air Traffic Control Moves to GNSS
By Spatial Source on 13 May, 2010About ten years ago it became clear that in many parts of the world airspace was approaching saturation point. Air transportation was plagued by delays, and safety had begun to be compromised. The existing outmoded groundbased radar systems, already stretched to the limit, were hardly able to cope. In the US, there are around 50,000 […]
