The 3D City Model of Basel supplied for use in the AR-4-Basel project is part of a large database of 7000km² in about 200 European and North American Cities owned by GTA Geoinformatik GmbH which has been created by means of photogrammetry. The models are all in LOD 2, follow a common strict quality standard and are approximately 10cm accurate. They feature roof forms and natural colors as well as optimized low poly intelligent objects with roof and wall faces.
All 3D City Models including the 3D City Model for Basel can be licensed for any purpose at very competitive prices. Anyone interested can now also license the tridicon® Software tools used for automated photogrammetric production of 3D urban models.
