3D City Model in CityGML Awarded for Neuss, Germany

A new city model for the city of Neuss, Germany has been awarded.  The company COWI will be performing the work which combines 12sqkm and covers approx. 17.000 buildings, initially.

COWI states, “The 3D model will be semi-automatically derived from existing stereo aerial images using COWI’s powerful and in-house developed software tools based on Microstation. The official 2D building footprints from the German ALK (“Automatisierte Liegenschaftskarte”) will be used to create overhanging roofs and to generate one proper 3D building per official footprint. The result is a consistent 3D dataset that can be managed together with the ALK footprints in SupportGIS.”
