Vulnérabilité de la population – Analyse SIG

An ancien analyse accompli il y a long temps mais toujours d’actualité. En espagnol.

Architectural models and some fun

I started sketching this building across the street and decided to include some funny pseudo 3D pictures of my girlfriend and myself… Architectural modelling is easy using Sketch-up. This model took me about 5 hours work (during the weekend, shame!), using components, texturing, handling scenes and exporting/editing Video. Hope you guys like it.

Creating DEM/DTM

It was 2007 when i finished my master’s degree and wanted to show some videos of procedures. At that moment in time i wanted to find a job -any job- involving GIS and i finally found it dealing with the Geovisualization department within a GIS company… now i happen to deal with DEMs. DTM, etcContinue reading “Creating DEM/DTM”

Airmap: UAV aerial surveying technology

The most efficient way to monitor our environment is from above. Traditionally, aerial photography and mapping is a costly and time consuming business. However, by using our UAV technology, we are able to offer a cost and time effective solution for your aerial photography and mapping needs. Obtaining high resolution Orthorectified image mosaics and DigitalContinue reading “Airmap: UAV aerial surveying technology”

ViewTec’s State-of-the-art 3D visualization

Good news!!!! They’ve probably released this Geovisualization Engine long time ago (It used to be an ‘in-house’ software) but I have just realized. I worked with this state-of-the-art TerrainView 3D software for six months while I was working as a GIS Specialist in Cape Town (South Africa)… What does this software has that no oneContinue reading “ViewTec’s State-of-the-art 3D visualization”

Visualizing LAS LIDAR data with sketch-up

While trying to figure out the way to get a 3D model from raw Lidar data, I first opened my LAS file in Global Mapper, exported it to DXF, imported then into Sketch-up and after recording a few scenes, I saved the animation… this is it!. Alberto

Using Excel to calculate the RMSE for LiDAR vertical ground control points

The height accuracy of the collected LiDAR data can be verified by comparing with independently surveyed ground control points on hard, flat, open surfaces. It is essentially just calculating the height differences for all the control points and then determining the height root mean squared error (RMSE) or differences. Most LiDAR processing software have the reporting function built-in. However, plain Microsoft Excel can also do the job (except for extracting the elevation from the LiDAR data).

GIS+Architectural scenaries. Awesome!

Even from scratch or from dgn/dxf vectorial format’s contour lines you create your own scenario. Then import your model previously created using Sketch-up (this time i used google’s 3d warehouse, thank you Dilbert). Stamp your house using sketch-up sandbox tools. Then fur your scenario as if it was grass… A little of photoshop like clouds andContinue reading “GIS+Architectural scenaries. Awesome!”
