The new versions of TerraBuilder products, incorporating Acute3D technology, are planned for release later this year and will include the ability to generate 3D models for entire cities directly from vertical and oblique imagery in a fully automated manner. These city models can then be loaded directly into the SkylineGlobe TerraExplorer client application or streamed over a network using the SkylineGlobe TerraGate server, a high performance terrain steaming server.
Check out the latest You tube clip update from Skyline Software showing the new add-on from Acute3D, PhotoMesh, CityBuilder and 3DML?

London would sit in a steamy jungle straddling the equator. Mexico City would be buried beneath an ice sheet. Our own Scott Base in Antarctica would turn into a tropical paradise.

The post IMTA 2012 Global Map Award appeared first on Geographx.

Geographx was honoured to win the awards for the second successive year, with its panoramic map of Tongariro National Park.
This is the same map that won the 2012 IMTA Asia Pacific award for Best Sheet Map back in July, and also the 2012 IMTA Asia Pacific Graham Stanton Award for best mapping product overall.

The map, along with a selection of other entries from the exhibition, will now represent New Zealand at the International Cartographic Exhibition at the ICA 2013 conference in Dresden.

Over the next two years they plan to drive and map all 126,000km of the New Zealand roading network using LiDAR point cloud technology.

Geocart 2012 doubled as the 2nd ICA Regional Symposium on Cartography for Australasia and Oceania. It was held at the University of Auckland campus and featured a good mix of New Zealand and overseas delegates. Geographx exhibited and additionally contributed 3 presentations, including a keynote address.

The Mountain Cartography workshop was held at the Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre at Ketetahi on the edge of Tongariro National Park. This was the first time the biennial gathering of the ICA Mountain Cartography Commission had been held in New Zealand and there was added interest due to the recent Te Maari eruption event on Mt Tongariro, the site of which was clearly visible from the venue.

The theme this year was “Mapping Mountain Dynamics – from Glaciers to Volcanoes” and papers were presented on this and related topics from most of the 25 practicing and academic cartographers attending. Canada, USA, Argentina, Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Norway and New Zealand were all represented. The workshop traditionally features a recreational networking day and this year was no exception. Between us we managed ascents of all three mountains and a walk to the Tama Lakes.
