3D MODELS
FBS combines its orthorectified imagery with digital elevation model (DEM) data, building feature extraction capabilities, and advanced image processing automation to create rapidly mass-produced, high-resolution 3D models of man-made objects (buildings, bridges, water towers, etc.) and geographic features (hills, escarpments, etc.). The end results are affordable geospatially-accurate 3D models with photo-realistic facades.
Elevation information for each building is used to extrude an image from rooftop to the ground. To create facade data, the building's details in oblique images are captured by the high degree of overlap used during aerial imagery acquisition. Using proprietary software that conforms to Collada specifications, XML building model schema is combined with textures captured in JPG file format to create a fully textured 3D building model. The process is designed to rapidly render cityscapes into 3D models from aerial imagery.
FBS' 3D models are compatible with Google Earth, ESRI and other popular GIS, CAD and 3D rendering software applications.
