CyberCity Developed Interface to SOCET SET / SOCET GXP

CyberCity (Switzerland) has presented its interface to SOCET SET/SOCET GXP of BAE Systems. Using this software development, point clouds - photogrammetrically measured in SOCET SET as .gams files - can be converted easily in CyberCity's .mp file structure. Point clouds are coded using CyberCity's Point Cloud Coding System which allows for automatic generation of realistic roof structures using CyberCity-Modeler. CyberCity-Modeler is used independently on the Digital Photogrammetry Workstation.

The interface allows BAE users to generate 3D City Models and also allows for post-processing using CyberCity tools. Once editing overlaps and gaps and the creation of planar faces and right angles are complete, users can overlay the 3D City Model as a wire frame model with the corresponding stereo models in SOCET SET for Quality Control. The geometrically corrected 3D Model can be manually or automatically textured with aerial photographs using CyberCity modules. The 3D data can be exported to CAD format (e.g. .dxf), ESRI format (.shp, PGDB, ArcSDE) and real-time format, including Level-of-Detail for geometry and textures (e.g. OpenFlight).
