3D TEXTURED CITY MAPS

Blom is currently producing comprehensive 3D textured models of cities. All surfaces such as ground, buildings’ roofs and facades are textured with imagery from Blom’s oblique image library, offering photo realistic views. Current results offer promising expectations from this new development.

Blom provides the textured 3D data, and the associated DTM, through an online streaming service, BlomURBEX. This solution is a progressive model, which avoids delivering vast amounts of data all at once. The 3D vectors + image textures will be cut and packed into manageable tiles for a fast, online delivery The textures are compressed into several quality levels in order to allow progressive degradation, keeping the size of data transmitted and rendered with-in manageable limits.
