REMOTE SENSING

OTS: Florence grey 3D Model Buildings (8 sq km)*

OTS 3D models built from 2005 stereo imagery

Data contains Breaklines (which include road / street widths), contours at 1 metre intervals and 2 metre intervals, and a (triangulated irregular network (TIN) model, and DTM points. Toronto contours.

16 classifications Raster to Polygon toolbox in ArcGIS was used to create polygons for the areas of each classification.

This project is a pioneering effort to create geo-spatial database on vegetation cover types, disturbance regimes and biological richness.

eleven archaeologists reveal how the broad application of remote sensing, and especially geophysical techniques, is altering the usual conduct of dirt archaeology.

The ideas and techniques of virtual reality are now being made available for the creation of artificial or virtual geographies (a virtual geography refers to the creation of artificial geographies for use in research and teaching, using ideas and techniques from the field of virtual reality (VR))
