Intergeo EAST? Isn't the next Intergeo in Cologne? No, we travelled eastwards to present our photogrammetric and 3D modelling services in Istanbul.
The most important forum for product and knowledge transfer in land management, geoinformation, building industry and environmental sectors opened from 20 to 21 May 2010 at Convention and Exhibition Centre. The conference starts on 19 May 2010. The show includes the neighbouring states of Romania, Greece, Armenia, Georgia, Russia and the Middle East.  Go to event website

GTA Geoinformatik GmbH exhibited at the 6th GeoForum MV. The two day event organised by the GeoMV association gave representatives of economy, politics, education and research the opportunity to exchange experiences, present best-practice examples and technical or scientific results in the geoinformation sector.

Kathrin Hutton from GTA gave a paper on "Production, applications, data integration and data administration of 3D city models and 3D landmarks". Presentation slides

GTA supported the 9th 3D forum in Lindau as an exhibitor and with a short company presentation. GTA's cooperating partner Fraunhofer IGD Darmstadt presented tha database solution CityServer3D.

One focus of the event was the automatic production of 3D city models from 3D point clouds. General interest and discussions were caused by a presentation about Google Streetview and its technical and legal aspects. The topic had a great presence in the German media recently.  Watch this space ...

As exhibitor with the topics photogrammetry and 3D city models GTA supported the 10th Northern German meeting of the DVW MV in Schwerin. Presentations on the topics geographic information systems, land division and governmental geodata, particularly the ALKIS migration, offered the participants interesting insights into today's world of surveying and geoinformation.

The evening event "theatre-pub-night Schwerin "can be regarded as a regional highlight: great actors and musicians of the Schwerin Staattheater kept showing off with a wonderful potpourri of stagecraft in a very relaxed atmosphere. Thank you to the hosts!

GTA Geoinformatik GmbH participates as exhibitor at "ruhr3D.de". On October 29th 2009 industry and science get the opportunity to present new developments, technologies and applications. 3D city models will be the topic of presentations, workshops and an exhibition. Focus will be application and integration of 3D city models in existing workflows. Target audience will be professionals from administration, industry and science. Read more (in German)

Together with GeoMV GTA Geoinformatik GmbH presented their latest products and services.The most important geodesy, geoinformation and land management fair attracts experts from all over the world.

Threedimensional Wiesbaden in Google Earth now even better
(2009-02-18)

The first update and enlargement of the data gives "Wiesbaden 3D" in Google Earth a new quality after a year being online. "Wiesbaden 3D" is a cooperation between the municipality of Wiesbaden and GTA Geoinformatik.

3D buildings with exact roof types are available for large parts of the city. Characteristic roof types are important for architecture and urban planning.

Facade colouring and the 3D presentation of trees were improved and updated. Deciduous trees and conifers can now be differentiated. New are also "points of interest", "Wiesbaden – city of historism" "commercial zones" and "urban development projects".

From the beginning Wiesbaden's land surveying office attached great importance to geometrically exact and accurate 3D buildings. Now www.wiesbaden.de/3d is an excellent basis for architects, planners, investors and other interested parties. The data are available at Wiesbaden's land surveying office.
