Helsinki uses Bentley applications to support its Helsinki 3D+ model, using a combination of laser scanning and oblique photogrammetry for modeling the surface and terrain to deliver a 3D reality mesh model of the entire city.
What was the outcome?
- Helsinki 3D+ is the foundation to its digital twin, with both a reality mesh and semantic models of the entire city. Read the project profile
- ContextCapture is used by the city to continuously capture and process updates for the reality mesh model.
- With Helsinki’s open data policy, the Helsinki 3D+ supports many use cases, including analyzing solar power utilization, conducting flood assessments, and performing noise calculations, as well as allowing third-party developers and universities to access and use data for additional projects.
- Helsinki 3D+ and OpenCities Planner provide the foundation for the digital twin in Kalasatama – improving planning and engagement between the city, residents, and other third-party organizations. View this story
