The city-scape of downtown San
Francisco was created with Photo. Photo helps you rapidly build 3D city scenes from aerial photographs (from whatever is available up to huge sizes) for interactive viewing. Once created in Geo - save the resultant model in OpenFlight®, Aechelon Technology's HIE® or any of Geo's supported visual-simulation formats. Photo interactively handles aerial photos of any size, right in Geo! Only a few mouse clicks are required to model a building quickly -  using a palette of 2D primitives streamlined for urban scenes. You see the 3D results instantly. Texture maps are created automatically, too! If you need more coverage, add more aerial photos.  Aerial photos are an inexpensive, accurate, and convenient source of modeling information.

Model city-scapes to the desired LOD

Photo is great for:

• Low-polygon urban scenes
• Urban data for GIS applications
• Airport terminal buildings & control tower
• Realistic visual simulations
• Security analysis and planning  (e.g. Homeland Defense)
• Rapid model creation on lightweight platforms
• Architectural visualization
• Civil engineering project visualization
• Line-of-sight analysis
• Training
• News media applications
