3DGeo Research Group 3D-MAPP
3D-MicroMapping of Big 3D Geo-Datasets in the Web
- Funding: Vector Foundation
- Duration: 2016
- Contact: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Höfle
- Team: Benjamin Herfort, Bernhard Höfle, Florian Hillen
Objective
The research project 3D-MAPP develops a web-based methodology to obtain digital geodata via the combination of data analysis by human and machine. Through a quick and easy-to-use 3D Web visualization users are able – in a few seconds – to solve 3D micro mapping tasks, which can hardly or even not be solved by automatic algorithms. Based on an extensive user study the idea of 3D-MAPP shall be evaluated empirically.
News
Within the project we implemented two crowdsourcing tasks. Both applications can be tested here:
- Citizen science project “3D vegetation”
Further project-related news can be found in our GIScience News Blog.
Teaching and 3D-geodata
We developed a course to teach the basics of 3D-data at schools.
