Camera
3D urban mapping is required by more 
cities at a rapid rate. Aerowest GmbH of 
Dortmund, Germany has been using IGI’s 
UrbanMapper with eight Phase One 100-
megapixel cameras acquiring aerial data 
for 3D city models in a fast, efficient and 
cost effective way.
In the last decade, oblique camera 
aerial systems were introduced into many 
diverse aerial imaging applications.

System uses include but are not limited to: 
multi-perspective desktop viewers, 
visualization of buildings roofs and façades 
from a 360-degree perspective, realistic 
texturing of 3D City models, and 
measurement of building heights in 
monoplotting mode.
Today urban planners and decision makers 
rely on 3D City models to support a wide 
variety of initiatives and actions.
3D city models are used to prepare for 
changes in city structures, population growth 
and urban planning, preventative measures 
for natural and industrial disasters, inhibiting 
overuse of finite resources, incorporating 
sustainable practices, and more.
City planners therefore require a reliable 
database that can be easily modified over 
time in order to gain a holistic look at the 
urban environment.
An immediate advantage of acquiring 
oblique images is the possibility to view 
elements that are generally occluded or 
not visible in the vertical views.
Aerowest GmbH has provided acquisition 
and processing of geospatial data from 
aerial photographs since 1970.
February 2017 they integrated eight Phase 
One Industrial 100MP cameras into an IGI 
UrbanMapper for acquiring data for aerial 
3D models in a fast, efficient, and cost-
effective way.
