Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of offering a consistent 3D visual rendering of subsurface objects when databases face non-completion. Digital modelling of subsurface objects, like utility lines, underground buildings or tree roots, is a difficult task. Data available are incomplete and not precise. The in situ acquisition of existing objects to increase data quality is complex and, therefore, costly. In this paper, a methodology to obtain missing spatial and geometrical data through field or empirical means is proposed. In addition, confidence levels are assigned to existing and derived spatial and geometrical attributes. They are consolidated on a class level and visualized through a bounding shape, called secondary object.
