Make Your City Smarter - Create a Digital Twin!
Produce highly accurate 3D building and terrain models automatically from airborne laser data and images. Generate basic models from as low as 1 point/m² or combine high density matched-to-each-other airborne and mobile data. With our software, you can create a complete city model including vectorized buildings, terrain and RGB color depicted objects.
Images can be draped over the terrain and used as textures for walls and roofs. Creating rendered images, a fly-through movie or a high-density point cloud that include true-color values for each point is simple and easy. A quick export make them a great asset in Smart City and city planning applications on desktop, mobile and web platforms.
A combination of TerraScan, TerraPhoto and TerraModeler enables you to create textured 3D city models from LiDAR survey and oblique images.

Creating a 3D City Model
Quick walkthrough of a 3D City model creation process. Vector model created fully automatically from TerraScan classified point cloud. Buildings are vectorized using building footprints. Textures for the roofs and walls are created from oblique images using TerraPhoto. True orthophoto created with TerraPhoto is draped on triangulated ground using TerraModeler. Point cloud is colorized using TerraPhoto. High vegetation class of points is used to visualize vegetation and poles. No manual editing of the model involved in the process.
Point cloud as 3D City Model
Colorized and georeferenced point cloud, with or without already collected vector data, provides a sound platform for several municipal applications. This example is from the wooden city centre of the town of Rauma, Finland which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. TerraStereo is a stand-along application for visualizing very large point clouds fast and in high quality.
The first national 3D building model created using Terrasolid’s TerraScan released
The Estonian Land Board produced the countrywide 3D building dataset by combining laser scanning point cloud with 2D buildings data from Estonian Topographic Database (ETD). 3D representations of buildings, including roof structures (LOD 2) were created with TerraScan and later processed with tools provided by ArcGIS and FME. Attribute data was added to 3D building models by spatial joins to building footprints (ETD) and land parcels, resulting in rich set of semantic data (address, links to different national registries, etc.), as well as appropriate metadata. A perfect example of first steps in Digital Twin creation.
The 3D data can be viewed in application, hosted in ArcGIS Online https://3d.maaamet.ee/kaart/. The data is also available for download from Land Board’s Geoportal.
“As customers of Terrasolid we are very pleased with the capabilities of TerraScan, especially the accuracy of roof shapes of resulting 3D models of buildings. We are also looking forward to use TerraScan for capturing other features from lidar point cloud.” Hanno Kuus, Chief Specialist, Estonian Land Board
