Urban digital twin v1.1

The digital twin of the territory is a precise and immersive representation of the urban areas of Catalonia, created from high-resolution LiDAR data and panoramic images captured with Mobile Mapping technology. This resource provides a realistic three-dimensional model that facilitates urban planning, infrastructure management and territorial analysis. Using the 3DCarrers viewer, any user can freely consult the captured images. Authorized users have access to the LiDAR point cloud, with advanced functionalities such as taking measurements (building heights, sidewalk widths), locating elements and detailed visualization of the environment. This tool is ideal for administrations, engineers, architects and companies that need reliable information for decision-making.

Domain consistency

Name of measure
Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)
Evaluation method description
The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Reference Validator" web tool. The metadata is considered correct when the only errors reported are related with the main language of the metadata file. These errors are due to the fact that Catalan is not included in the list of official languages of the European Union.

Yes
Statement
The process to obtain this 3D model is rigorous and consists of several phases: Panoramic images and LiDAR data are obtained using high-precision Mobile Mapping systems that travel through urban areas; The data is georeferenced to ensure its correct location in the official coordinate system and is processed to generate a coherent point cloud and optimized images; Before publication, an exhaustive control is carried out to ensure geometric accuracy and visual quality, guaranteeing that the information is reliable for technical uses; The validated data is uploaded to the servers and published in the 3DCarrers viewer, where the images can be freely consulted and, for authorized users, access the point cloud with advanced tools; The project is developed with a four-year cycle to cover the entire territory, with annual captures that progressively expand the database.
