RAPID INDOOR DATA ACQUISITION FOR LADM-BASED 3D CADASTRE MODEL

Abstract. 2D cadastre has been in existence for decades and most countries have found it convenient. However, in complex situations it has been found to be inadequate as ownership becomes difficult to realise. 3D cadastre data was previously not being collected, thus, making such data even more difficult to realise. 3D data collection for 3D cadastre is one of the main issues for practising surveyors. Several ways of obtaining 3D data exist namely, traditional surveying, terrestrial laser scanning and from Computer Aided Design (CAD) sources. Various data sources have different data structure and a generalized data structure for 3D cadastre hardly reported. A simple and rapid method for indoor data acquisition is proposed. This seeks to determine if the dual half edge data structure is suitable for 3D cadastre. The dual half edge data structure is applied within a graphical user interface. The concept for indoor surveying or data acquisition within the LA_SpatialUnit of the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) is presented and proposed.
