Spotscale has produced (apparently) the world’s largest 3D city model.

The model is of 40 city blocks in a central part of Norrköping, Sweden. Their multi-copter has been flying along every street, façade and roof to photograph all angles possible in a total of 140.000 images in 24-megapixel resolution. Then the imagery is then uploaded to Spotscale cloud processing, where computer vision algorithms calculate an extremely large and detailed 3D model.

Ludvig Emgård, founder and CEO of Spotscale mentioned that to achieve this model, they been pushing the limits of UAS capture, processing methodology and visualisation.
