Pittsburgh, PA - TerraSim, Inc. and BAE Systems, Mission Solutions, will demonstrate the use of SOCET SET® and TerraTools® for the rapid production of 3D urban visualizations at the 2001 American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Annual Conference.
The San Diego Urban Visualization Project is a joint effort between TerraSim and BAE Systems to demonstrate the range of urban visualizations that can be created by integrating pre-existing GIS geospatial source with spatially intensified DEMs and feature data compiled using SOCET SET®, a fully featured photogrammetric workstation. As a concept demonstration, the San Diego Project covers a 2.25 by 2.25 mile segment of the downtown area, including the Convention Center, Marina Park, and Balboa Park.
Starting with a variety of geospatial source data including aerial and IKONOS imagery, San Diego GIS (SanGIS) vector data, Bentley MicroStation® city plans, digital elevation models (DEM), and photo realistic 3D building models generated using SOCET SET, four different visual simulation databases were created using TerraTools: The Complete Synthetic Environment Toolkit. Each database depicts how the same urban environment can be portrayed using different combinations of source GIS data.
For a demonstration of how SOCET SET and TerraTools can leverage your production of 3D urban databases visit us at the BAE Systems Booth 315/414, 2001 ASPRS Annual Conference, April 23-27, 2001, America's Center / Adams Mark Hotel, St. Louis, MO.
