Mapping from high-resolution images and height data
Where do our maps come from?
Most of the maps we use in daily life are based on information captured in Earth Observation data, such as aerial photographs or satellite images. Elements that you find in those images include buildings, roads, water bodies, and trees. The more detailed the maps, the higher the resolution of the images should be. And,…

Producing 3D Models for city Digital Twins
What are digital twins?
Digital Twins are digital representations of physical reality. They can have many forms and scales, from compact models in Mechanical Engineering to complete digital city models. Digital twins are very useful for visualizing the current state of a city but can also be used to simulate future or past events.
How do you crea…
