2011 iDelft News (Archive)

iDelft completed a unique Aerial Image Mosaic of The Netherlands. More than 3500 images with a size over 2.6 TB were combined. The Mosaic is a snapshot of The Netherlands in 2011. The aerial images can be ordered via our website: www.BestelLuchtfoto.nl. Additional information is available. 30 September 2011iDelft participated in the GIS Conference 2011 that took place on 28 and 29 September 2011 (De Doelen, Rotterdam). We demonstrated 3D visualizations using a game engine and geographic data that can be ordered through our www.Bestel3D.nl website. 16 August 2011The new DKLN2011 aerial imagery set is currently in the final production phase and will be made available for the whole of The Netherlands. Samples can be loaded from the Download section. Contact iDelft in order to get an overview of DKLN2011 availablity. 12 August 2011iDelft sold city models to five major Dutch municipalities over the last month. In addition, datasets were sold to the provinces Noord-Holland and Limburg. A clear trend is visible whereby public organisations decide to directly purchase geographic datasets (rather than indirectly using geographic data from engineering firms). There is an increased interest in vegatation data (as part of the Vector-NL set) in order to support air quality studies. Examples are available through the Download page. Smaller models can be ordered through the site: www.Bestel3D.nl. 28 June 2011iDelft has compared the accuracy of the building height with the Algemene Hoogtemodel Nederland (AHN-2, Dutch General Elevation Model) in an example area form Breda. While the AHN-2 is recorded using laser altimetry recording devices, Vector-NL is derived from stereophotos (summer 2008). The height results are very similar for both datasets, as described in the elevation data and AHN-2 brochure. The dataset has, besides a competitive price, unique characteristics. It can be ordered in www.Bestel3D.nl. 13 May 2011iDelft has made an Information over CityGML brochure where the process of creation of a 3D mock-up is explained. It represents a part of Rotterdam, but any area of The Netherlands can be modeled within minutes. 15 March 2011iDelft has joined today for the last time the 3D Pilot organized by, among others, Kadaster, GeoNovum and TU-Delft. iDelft has supporter this program with presentations, Open 3D Converter software 3.7, mock-ups and CityGML files. Examples can be found in the CityGML page.
