Author(s): Simon Hennig, Ursula Baaser, Georg Bareth
This paper presents recent improvements of the CampusGIS of the University of Cologne. Set up as an ArcIMS based online GIS environment in 2005, this application provides general and spatial campus information by connecting several existing relational database systems of the university with spatial data. The system is used for orientation and functionalities for facility management are planned
The CampusGIS is currently extended to the third dimension, which allows advanced orientation on the campus and enhances the capabilities of facility management. Governmental airborne laser scan data was used to generate a LoD1 city model in ArcGIS. A model for semiautomatic 3D modelling was set up using Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst tools. Digital elevation models and building outlines are required as input data. An ArcGIS Server 9.3 globe service is used to visualize the 3D model. Additionally a geoprocessing service using Network Analyst is implemented to serve a routing application.
