Society is expecting and demanding more 3D support since users have - perienced the added value in emerging visualisation applications such as 3D globe based interfaces, navigation systems presenting a 3D perspective, etc. Due to the rapid developments in sensor techniques more 3D data have - come available. E?ective algorithms for (semi) automatic object reconstr- tion are required. Integration of existing 2D objects with height data is a non-trivial process, and further research is needed. The resulting 3D models can be maintained in several forms: TEN (Tetrahedral Network), constr- tive solid geometry (CSG) models, regular polytopes, TIN boundary r- resentation and 3D volume quad edge structure, layered/topology models, voxel based models, 3D models used in urban planning/polyhedrons, and n-dimensional models including time. 3D analysis and 3D simulation te- niques explore and extend the possibilities of spatial applications. In such a dynamic scienti?c environment, it is very important to have high quality and an open exchange of ideas on these new developments. It is also very important to carefully review and document the progress that is made. This book and the associated 3D GeoInfo workshop are an attempt to achieve this goal. The workshop is the second in a series on 3D geo-information. The previous event took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 7-8 August 2006 (http://www. fksg. utm. my/3dgeoinfo2006). Selected papers from the ?rst workshop were published in 'Innovations in 3D Geo Information Systems', Springer-Verlag, 2006.
