Abstract

The present disclosure relates a method for providing 3D GIS (Geographic Information System) web services using a web client and a server, the method including the steps of: in the server side, processing information to be transmitted to the web client; and in the server side, upon request of the web client, transmitting to the web client the information to be displayed on a screen of the web client. In the step of processing information, the information to be processed includes a main image and peripheral images around the main image, and the step of transmitting the information involves searching for a main image and peripheral images around the main image that corresponds to a request of the web client if the request includes information about an image to be visualized on the screen.

Claims (22)

1. A method for providing 3D GIS (Geographic Information System) web services using a web client and a server, the method comprising the steps of:

in the server side, processing information to be transmitted to the web client; and

in the server side, upon request of the web client, transmitting to the web client the information to be displayed on a screen of the web client,

wherein in the step of processing information, the information to be processed includes information about a building, and the information about a building is processed by indexing an object seen from a camera that is supposedly located within each of at least one of sub-cubes set for the building,

wherein in the step of processing information, the information to be processed includes information about a building, and the information about a building is processed by indexing an object seen through the surfaces of a respective sub-cube, as seen from a camera that is supposedly located within each of 8 n sub-cubes obtained by having a plane pass a corresponding split point, each split point splitting a main cube set around a building into 2 n cubes along the length, width and height directions, and

wherein n is a natural number.

2. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 1 , wherein in the step of processing information, the information about a building is processed by indexing an object seen from the camera through surfaces that constitute the sub-cube.

3. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 1 , wherein the step of transmitting involves searching for a sub-cube that corresponds to a request of the web client if the request includes information about the interior of the building to be visualized on the screen.

4. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 2 , wherein the step of transmitting involves searching for a sub-cube that corresponds to a request of the web client if the request includes information about the interior of the building to be visualized on the screen.

5. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 3 , wherein the request of the web client includes information about a location and shooting direction of the camera, and the server searches for a sub-cube based on the location and shooting direction of the camera.

6. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 4 , wherein the request of the web client includes information about a location and shooting direction of the camera, and the server searches for a sub-cube and a relevant surface based on the location and shooting direction of the camera.

7. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 1 , wherein the step of transmitting involves searching for a sub-cube and a relevant surface that correspond to a request of the web client if the request includes information about the interior of the building to be visualized on the screen.

8. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 7 , wherein the request of the web client includes information about a location and shooting direction of the camera, and the server searches for a sub-cube based on the location and shooting direction of the camera.

9. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 1 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

10. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 2 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

11. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 3 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

12. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 4 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

13. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 5 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

14. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 6 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

15. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 1 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

16. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 7 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.

17. The method for providing 3D GIS web services according to claim 8 , wherein in the step of transmitting, the information to be transmitted undergoes occlusion culling.
