| Description | A digital landscape model (DLM) is defined as a minimum 3D or 4D computer generated scheme of a chosen segment of Earth’s landscape sphere which represents a simplified, yet integrated image of its elementary structural features, optimally also its dynamic features. The model’s first three dimensions (spatial coordinates) describe the model’s structural aspect, while the fourth dimension registers the time aspect. In other words, the DLM simulates a complex 3D or 4D map of present landscape as a universally integrated geo-database. Using external ES, various disaster situation can be modelled and solution easiled. |
