Basel Building Gallery

As part of its open data initiative, the city of Basel maintains and provides public access to an image bank of buildings. You can learn more about the Basel building database here.

The building gallery could be useful to you in creating an AR experience for citizens and visitors, or for the city employees based on the recognition of the building's features in a video. Unlike the other Land and Survey data sets which are confined to only the area around the Messe Convention Center and the Old City Center, this data is for the entire city.
