[DM4-2] Geometric modelling

This topic describes the process of Geometric modelling using vector data, means the primitives like points, lines, areas, bodies, or raster data. There is a strong relation to ISO standards (see relations) as they provide basic data types for geometric modelling. Main issues: - Geometric modeling based on vector data - Geometric modeling based on raster data - Conversion between the models - examples, advantages, disadvantages of the models
