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.
