Leica RealCity Urban Mapping Solution

The airborne mapping solution specifically designed for smart city applications

In an urban environment, particularly for smart city applications, the need for a geospatial base layer goes beyond traditional data products. This includes digital surface and elevation models, qualitative data on vegetation, street information, built-up areas and land use. In addition, the base layer requires 3D information in the form of GIS-ready buildings for planning purposes and 3D meshes for visualisation.

Leica RealCity, the innovative airborne reality capture solution, addresses these issues by combining the world’s onlyhybrid sensor, Leica CityMapper-2, with the high-performance multisensor workflow, Leica HxMap.

Leica Geosystems RealCity Airborne Solution

Creating a SmartBase

HxMap turns the CityMapper data into the most comprehensive geospatial base layer for smart city applications, the SmartBase. It consists of up-to-date, highly accurate 2D data products and 3D city models, generated from simultaneously acquired data.

Make informed decisions

RealCity offers the most efficient way to generate geospatial information for rapidly changing urban environments, and provides a comprehensive foundation to work smarter and make more informed decisions.

High-efficient data capture

The CityMapper-2 is the world’s first hybrid airborne sensor combining oblique and nadir imaging with a LiDAR system into one sensor head. Bringing together the best of both worlds, it is specifically designed for urban mapping.

High-performance data processing

HxMap turns the CityMapper-2 data into the most comprehensive geospatial base layer for smart city applications. It consists of up-to-date, highly accurate 2D data products and 3D city models, generated from simultaneously acquired data.
