Rostock-3D City Model based on OpenStreetMap data
18 September 2009, 7:47pm
The first complete 3D City Model (CityGML LOD1) based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) data was generated for the City of Rostock, Germany. The Kataster-, Vermessungs- und Liegenschaftsamt (KVL, Dep. of Surveying)
Rostock donated the footprints of all buildings of Rostock after a random falsification of less than one meter of the footprint coordinates. On request of the Research Group of Prof. Dr. Alexander
Zipf the KVL also provided the height information of all the buildings in August 2009. The import to OSM has now been completed and through the tools developed for http://osm-3d.de the 3D model could be generated fully automatically.
As a result the city now can be explored interactively in 3D via the W3DS-Client XNavigator at http://www.OSM-3D.org, including 3D routing through an extended version of OpenRouteService.org.
