摘要

HxDR will host a digital twin of the whole of the Netherlancis Cydomedia is a Dutch company specialising in the large-scale visualisation of environments, based on 360-degree panoramic aerial photographs. The company called on Hexagon Geosystems to help it create a digital twin of the Netherlands. Hexagon provided HxDR, its cloud-based visualisation and collaboration platform, as a host for a virtual representation of the country, known as 3DNL. Hexagon worked with Cyclomedia, flying the Leica CityMapper-2 solution - a hybrid imaging and LiDAR technology that it says offers unmatched data accuracy for mapping urban areas.CityMapper-2 is designed for use with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones), capturing 150 megapixel images - two nadir (of the ground, taken vertically) and four oblique - every 0.9 seconds.Leica said of its technology, "With a new generation 2 MHz pulse rate LiDAR, this sensor breaks all conventional barriers of urban mapping".
