Abstract
3D Visualization of Terrain and Tree Canopies Using GIS Track: Modeling Author(s): Daniel Doke This project uses ArcGlobe to display and explore terrain and tree vegetation in a 3d environment. Elevation and feature data were either gathered from the field using GPS or digitized from imagery. Elevation data were processed to produce a DEM surface upon which features were draped. Location and canopy dimension data were gathered for trees. The trees were symbolized using the attributes collected from the field. One can view tree location and canopy size while walking or flying in ArcGlobe. Terrain visualizations have diverse applications; for example, they may help in planning a disc (Frisbee) golf course layout in a public park, or they may aid in planning the movement of military personnel and equipment.
