Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, 3D Test Model

 3D City Model are very useful to represent all
specific topographies of urban environment due
to the use of up-to-date satellite images for
digital models production
 Due to its high accuracy (1 or 2 or centimeters)
3D City Model characterizes all above-ground
features and city infrastructure with 90%
realistic
 Ready to use unexpansive 3D City Model gave
the best way to estimate positioning, number
and power of base stations to make signal more
strong and accurate
 The industrialized process of 3D City Models includes precise quality control and assurance the
high accurateness of Digital Model
 The modern technology of satellite imagery processing and best software environment permits
us to generate diverse digital models that fit various customers’ requirements in scale, layers
and digital data formats

Digital Terrain Model

General owerview

Meanings of pixel values

Each image pixel stores the value of terrain elevation.

The value of elevation above sea level:

 Height = 0 meters - 0
 Unknown values - - 9999
 Z values unit - meters

In this Digital Terrain Model the altitudes are varied in the range of 0 to 8 meters.

Values of heights are submitted in the Baltic system of heights.

Parameters of accuracy

 Resolution (cell size) 2 m

 Absolute Planimetric accuracy (x,y) 5 m
 Absolute Altimetric accuracy (z) 2-3 m

Sources:

 Stereo pairs of WorldView satellite images with

0.5 m resolution.

Meanings of pixel values

The value which is stored with each pixel of image corresponds to the code that represents land type
(clutter class). The table of correspondences between codes and clutter class names (18 clutter classes
in all) is presented below.
