Interactive Virtual Globe Service System Based on OsgEarth

Article Preview

Abstract:

These online tools, led by the Google Earth virtual globe, are changing the way we interact with spatial data. This paper focused on how to develop a virtual globe-based interactive service system for risk assessment of dam-break in Barrier Lake. Unlike existing work, virtual globe technology was used as a medium for geographic visualization and analysis. Moreover, GIS spatial analysis and real-time interactive operation with the service system will also be implemented to support the simulation analysis of dab-break flood routing. The experimental results show that the scheme developed in this paper is efficient and feasible.
