Linking GIS-based Modeling of Stormwater Best Management Practices to 3D Visualization

摘要

Compared to allied design professions, the diverse practice realm and spatial scales of landscape architecture pose challenges in the development of a single software package for parametric information modeling. Here we report progress in linking geographic, civil engineering, and visualization software together in the development of a comprehensive landscape model that will estimate the effectiveness of stormwater mitigation practices. Although the model is still under development and requires field calibration, a proof-of-concept prototype for data linking and interchange is demonstrated.
