3-d virtual maps production for mosul city by using gis techniques

Abstract EN

With the developments in digital image processing techniques, 3D models of objects are transferred to the digital form from the hardcopy form.

3D visualization was performed by using Erdas Imagine Virtual GIS module.

The model was enhanced with huge additional data.

Since the model covers a very huge area of Mosul city, more information was added to the model to show the location names.

Also local services and road network was superimposed to the visualization.

As a result of research, a user can fly over all Mosul city, may watch the topography, towns, local services places by using this model, also the final 3d digital map contain all necessary information for users and designers to reach to the best decision.
