Currently, satellite image, aerial image and airborne laser scanning data are mostly used to build 3D image models. However, we are in need of quality 3D image models as current models cannot express topographic and features most elaborately and realistically. When making 3D image models, the model is first built and textures from terrestrial photos are applied to add realistic features to the model. This study analyzed techniques to use photogrammetry and laser scanning data to create a 3D image models with topography, building and statue that emphasize spatial accuracy, delicate depiction and photo-realistic imaging. 3D image models with spatial accuracy and photographic texture were built to be served via 3D image map services systems on the internet. The 3D image models can be used for various purposes, such as daylight and view right analysis, landscape analysis, facility management system.

By emphasize and enhance security in encryption of same viewdata in this research, constructed video conference system that apply real time video encryption techniques that confidentiality and integrity aspect are emphasized than video conference system that depend on existent user certification techniques. Sender's image transmits Vernam's encryption process to listener by packet. Listener can display image through image's decipher process and uncompress after unite receiving transmited image. This time, solved transmission speed delay problem by video's real time encryption using Vernam's algorithm that encryption and the decipher speed are fast. Simplification problem of Vernam algorithm wished to solve Session Key that use security Key that is used encipherment and decipher in channel between Client and Server using RSA algorithm.
