The potential use of VGI data for 3D cadastre surveys
Maria GKELI, Charalabos IOANNIDIS and Chryssy POTSIOU
This study presents an evaluation of the current state of the art of algorithms and techniques used for 3D modelling and investigates the potential of their usage for 3D cadastre. We have presented this paper in two parts. In the last issue, the progress realated to utilize VGI data in visualizing the 3D world was published. The algorithms and techniques in 3D reconstruction which may be used to provide accurate and detailed 3D models were also discussed. This article focuses on the potential of using VGI data in 3D reconstruction procedures, indicating the advantages and disadvantages, in addition to the potential of using VGI data for 3D cadastral surveys...
