Geo Data
What are Geo data
Geographical data or geo data are data which have a location component. Almost all data are linked to a location or a place and are, therefore, geo data. Geo data can be, for example, a paper map, a digital web map or just a simple text file with coordinates. Geo datasets are either vectors (that is, features which are points, lines or polygons) or raster data (that is, data in grid cells). The features in vector data can have multiple attributes with values. Raster data mostly consist of a value and a color.
How do Geo data relate to the Tygron Platform
The Tygron Platform uses geo data (vectors and raster) for creating the 3D-model world. For this, the Tygron Platform automatically connects to (Open) Datasets, such as the Base Registers in the Netherlands and Open Street Maps worldwide. A principle that generally applies: if your 3D World lacks certain information, then 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 on how to import additional data is provided on the Geo Data Wizard page.
Used Datasets
The table below contains the datasets that are automatically accessed when selecting a location within The Netherlands while creating a new project. When selecting a location outside The Netherlands it is more likely that some Geo Data should be provided manually. Furthermore, the Tygron Platform provides an overview of the used Geo Datasets in the Project Sources overview.
| (Open) Dataset | Description | Coverage | (Connection) Source | More information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BGT | Basisregistratie Grootschalige Topografie: Base Register containining the topography of the Netherlands. The dataset is very detailed and contains for instance roads, parks, trees, water surfaces and street objects. | Netherlands | PDOK | https://www.kadaster.nl/bgt |
