The intention is clearly to scare taxpayersContinue reading “Taxing the sun?. Yes, in Spain this seems to be possible.”

This ‘update’ helps me to better understand what i am working with andContinue reading “Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, Lidar and Landuse IGN Spain”

DTM from SRTM? Let’s compare sources using RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and a gaussian kernell density map

I guess we all can make a DTM out of many sources but SRTM is one of the most common ones, right?. Then let’s learn from this very simple approach how close we are from the SRTM raw data. Selecting a not very big representative area to be able to handle it, exporting raster to polygon (fromContinue reading “DTM from SRTM?

Windmills (wind turbines). Geovisualization live!

I will do my best to build a 3d scenario incluiding a few wind generators located very close to Pancorbo Cliff, North of Spain, about 320 km from Madrid. As usual, I started getting a model from 3D warehouse and included inside my google sketch up session… after that it was just placing it inContinue reading “Windmills (wind turbines).
