What is Geo data
Geographical data or geo data is data which has a location component. Almost all data is linked to a location or a place and is therefore geo data. Geo data is for example a paper map, a digital web map but also just a simple text file with coordinates. Geo datasets are either vector (features which are points, lines or polygons) or raster data (data in grid cells). The features in vector data can have multiple attributes with values. Raster data mostly has a value and a color.
How does Geo data relate to the Tygron Engine
The Tygron Engine uses geo data (vector and raster) for creating the 3D model world. For this, the engine automatically connects to Dutch Open Datasets, such as the base registers. For this process the following general principle applies: if your 3D World lacks certain information, it is not available in the used dataset. To add missing Geo data you can either update the information in the database and regenerate the 3D world, or you can add additional Geo data manually. More information about importing data is provided on the Geo Data Wizard page.
Which Geo datasets are used?
The following table contains the data sources that are automatically used when selecting a location in The Netherlands and creating a new project. When selecting a location outside The Netherlands some geo data has to be provided manually. The table below shows the datasets which are used for creating a project in the Netherlands.
| Open Dataset | Description | Coverage | (Download) Source | More information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BGT | Basisregistratie Grootschalige Topografie: Base register containining the topography of the Netherlands. The dataset is very detailled and contains for instance roads, parks, trees, water surfaces and street objects. | Netherlands | PDOK | |
| BAG | Basisregistraties Adressen en Gebouwen: Base register containing data about buildings and addresses such as function, construction year, size and the geometry of the buildings. | Netherlands | PDOK | |
| Satellite map | Satellite map used as base map for the 3D world and used for rooftop colors. | Worldwide | ESRI | |
| DEM | Digital Elevation Model: the terrain height (excluding buildings). | Worldwide | ESRI | |
| AHN 2/3 | Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland: Contains detailed elevation information (specifically for the Netherlands). | Netherlands | ESRI | |
| CBS Wijk- en Buurtkaart | The CBS Wijk- en Buurtkaart contains the geometry of the division in neighborhoods and statistical data related to those neighborhoods. | Netherlands | PDOK / CBS | |
| Ruimtelijke plannen | Ruimtelijke plannen are the offical published spatial plans/zoning plans. | Netherlands | Ruimtelijke Plannen | |
| Top10NL | Topographical dataset, used as an addition on the BGT data. | Netherlands | Tygron / PDOK | |
| NWB | Nationaal Wegen Bestand: Contains detailed information about the road infrastructure. For instance number of lanes and road type. Also contains a road ID used in conjunction with INWEVA (see below). | Netherlands | PDOK | |
| INWEVA | This dataset contains an estimation of traffic intensity(information is based on a traffic model which is yearly updated). | Netherlands | Rijkswaterstaat | |
| BRP | Basis registratie Percelen. Used to determine information about agricultural land use. | Netherlands | PDOK | |
| Kadastrale kaart | This dataset contains the division into parcels. | Netherlands | PDOK | |
| Risicokaart | This dataset shows hazardous- and / or nuisance buildings (for example LPG station) and cables and pipes. Also contains additional information on vulnerable buildings (hotels, hospital, school, etc.). | Netherlands | Risicokaart.nl |
