Research / 3D land administration

3D ULPIN Mapping System.

A research and prototype direction exploring a backward-compatible volumetric extension of India’s ULPIN framework for three-dimensional land administration.

Problem

2D parcels do not describe every modern spatial right.

Multi-level buildings, underground spaces and elevated infrastructure introduce relationships that are difficult to express using only a flat parcel representation.

Direction

Keep the 2D identifier; attach volumetric objects.

The proposed architecture keeps the existing parcel identity as the stable parent and adds derivative volumetric references for 3D objects.

Architecture

From raw spatial data to validated 3D objects.

01

Capture

Drone imagery, LiDAR, CAD/BIM, GNSS/CORS and terrain data provide complementary evidence.

02

Fuse + extract

Asynchronous processing can combine modalities and generate candidate footprints, heights and meshes.

03

Human validation

A licensed surveyor reviews and adjusts generated geometry before official registration.

04

Standards + storage

The research discusses LADM, CityGML, OGC 3D Tiles, PostGIS and object storage as parts of the architecture.
