3.5. The follow-up work of 3D terrain
After completing the above steps, we have basically accomplished the expression and analysis of
3D terrain visualization. The follow-up work is mainly about outputing the results. The result files can
be output in form of map. We can also display the 3D results in form of flash based on the analog
roaming of the presetting path. Besides, we can transfer it into the VRML files based on JAVA
language and then make further research by means of programming languages. We can also invoke it
into ArcGlobe to present the terrain in large scale. The 3D terrain visualization in ArcGlobe can make
observation and analysis from a more macroscopic angle. Also, the 3D results could be exported into
KMZ format and then imported into Google Earth for digital communication and data sharing.
