Stuttgart 3D

With the 3D city model of Stuttgart built by the City Surveyor’s Office, “Stuttgart 3D” for short, you can get to know the state capital without even setting foot outside the door. It is possible for users to immerse themselves in virtual Stuttgart without any prior knowledge.

With the 3D WebViewer you can experience a virtual flight over the city of Stuttgart, such as over the Pragsattel.

The digital 3D city model

Stuttgart 3D is used in many places. This is because visualization in 3D provides a practical representation of influences such as terrain shapes, especially those in Stuttgart, as well as the relationship between existing and planned development.

Stuttgart 3D consists of the digital terrain model (DTM), which is based on laser scanning, and the 3D building model. The data acquisition and processing for the construction of the 3D building model is based on an aerial image evaluation (photogrammetric evaluation), which is kept up-to-date in the meantime via a regular continuation of the inventory. The most different contents (3D inventory, planning, aerial photos, plans, factual data or symbols) can be combined. The entire city area is not only available in a differently detailed geometric representation, but there is also a fully textured model from oblique aerial photographs. Thus, you additionally get a photorealistic impression of the whole city.

The 3D WebViewer

With the  “Stuttgart 3D-WebViewer” (opens in a new tab), current web technologies are also used here. This allows an application in your current browser without further specifications or additional software. Through its intuitive navigation, the viewer provides easy access to information from the city’s 2D or 3D geoinformation. With additional tools you can export the content, show a shadow by date, recommend the section as URl or simply make a screenshot in PDF format.
