Bentley's support for 3D cadastre development

Prooijen, Kees van et al.

Cadastre has been playing a huge role in the development of our society since it aims at registering legal status and property rights associated to land. Cadastre is usually based on a 2D parcel description with associated land information. Although 2D representation simplification of our 3D reality offers advantages (e.g.: it can be easily represented on paper) it also involves several limitations when the existing situation is too complex to describe. There are many cases where infrastructure density leads to complex interleaving (overhanging structures; above and below ground infrastructuress). Furthermore, demographic forecasts expect urban population to double between 2005 and 2050. This assessment of current and coming challenges has been made several times and motivated numerous research activities suggesting the adoption of 3D Cadastre. This research identifies some of the technological limitations in implementing a 3D cadastre.
