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

Load data from databases

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 datasets 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.

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 https://www.kadaster.nl/bgt
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 https://www.kadaster.nl/basisregistratie-adressen-en-gebouwen
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 Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland: Contains detailed elevation information. When generating a project, it is possible to select either AHN2 (complete for the Netherlands) or AHN 3 (not complete yet). Netherlands ESRI http://www.ahn.nl/index.html
