Challenges of Developing 3D models of the Littoral Zone
Track: Communicating with 3D
Authors: Ben Drinkwater

A picture paints a thousand words, a 3D model brings those words to life. Harnessing the power of Esri software has enabled the creation of a 3D model of the littoral zone. Multiple cross-domain issues were addressed including the provision, management and exploitation of Geospatial information. Using 3D visualization in the maritime environment has many advantages; this project demonstrated efficiencies and operational benefits including improved situation awareness within a harbour approach
