The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s City Planning Department has created a 3D city planning map which is now online. The 3D city map includes traffic routes and infrastructure systems, which will we be added to with help from the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency. To date there are 990 3D structures out of a total [...]

This may be a perennial question, as certainly the rise and promise of universal 3D geovisualization keeps coming in waves that are similar to the promise of location-based services. With each wave, we all ride the crest, and perhaps a few move toward the ongoing capture and visualization of our geographies beyond just a project [...]

Siemens, along with robotics researchers from MIT, have developed an autonomous helicopter sensor platform for the detailed capture of complex interiors and the mapping and inspection of dangerous and inaccessible sites. The quadrocopter uses artificial intelligence to make sense of its surroundings. The platform uses lasers to scan its surroundings, and optical and video cameras [...]

The LAS 1.4 Specification was approved by the ASPRS Board on November 14, 2011. There was a good deal of back-and-forth regarding the process and specification, nicely summarized in this column that we published in V1 Magazine regarding some contentious issue with what was proposed. Martin Isenburg, the author of the column that we published, [...]

At today’s BeInspired 2011 presentation day, Bentley Systems displayed the ability to extend online mapping functionality beyond the 2D map or imagery view. The offering provides a 3D immersive view of models from wherever they originate, such as Oracle Spatial 3D, cad files, and point clouds. Interactive navigation capabilities within the context of the map [...]

Urban Robotics has recently released Dense 3D Extraction technology to automate the creation of detailed 3D models from aerial imagery. The tool makes use of cloud services to speed the model creation time, and touts the ability to create the model without the need for specialized cameras and precise calibration. The approach uses computer vision [...]
