Introduction
|
|
|
The
WallMan software offers a convenient facility to generate and edit
urban and indoor building databases. Especially the 3D view of the
building data helps to detect errors in the database. Several import
filters for standard GIS (MapInfo, Arcview,..) CAD (DXF, Shapefile,...)
and pixel formats (Bitmaps,...) are available.

Definition
of databases
|
|

Databases
can be devided in urban and indoor databases. These two
database types differ in some points:
Urban Databases
|
Indoor Databases
|
|
|
|
Polygonal
cylinders
|
Polygonal
planar objects
|
Arbitrary
number of corners
|
Arbitrary
number of corners
|
Flat
rooftop (uniform height of building)
|
All
corners are in one plane (planar)
|
Individual
characterization of material properties for each building
|
Individual
characterization of material properties for each wall
|
Vegetation
blocks (parks and trees) also defined as polygonal cylinder
|
Definition
of subdivisions (doors, windows,...) with different material
properties possible
|
Additional
consideration of topography possible
|
Shape
around building automatically defined as polygonal cylinder to
include indoor databases into urban databases
