Interactive 3D Content Modeling for Digital Earth (Master's thesis, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada). Retrieved from https://prism.ucalgary.ca. doi:10.11575/PRISM/26602http://hdl.handle.net/11023/2397In this thesis, we present an interactive system for the creation and editing of 3D content for Digital Earth systems, such as Digital Elevation Models, vegetation, bodies of water and man-made structures. The proposed system employs a set of interactive tools to integrate commonly available data sources, such as orthophotos and Digital Elevation Models (DEM), to facilitate the rapid creation and integration of detailed geospatial content. Consequently, our system can be used to enhance the quality of Digital Earth data by enabling the straightforward creation of new 3D landscapes and urban elements.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
