Abstract
GIS as a Framework for Multiform Landscape Visualization Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Charles Yuill, Michael Hasenmyere Landscape visualization is a rapidly developing field for environmental research, practice, and education. A number of emerging computer-ased techniques are evolving around technologies such as 3D graphic representation (both data drive high fidelity and rendering focused methods), 3D modeling software, photogrammetry (both aerial and close range), and airborne and terrestrial LIDAR. Integration or incorporation of information from multiple technologies has often proven difficult without suitable theoretical and technological support. 2D and 3D GIS appears to present a workable framework for integrating visualization technologies that individually are quite different often having been developed for specific applications with specific hardware and software requirements.
