TerraBuilder - Overview


TerraBuilder allows users to quickly create, edit and maintain Skyline 3D terrain databases.

Combining any number of aerial photos, satellite images, geographic terrain information and, digital elevation modelss and vector data, TerraBuilder enables quick and easy creation of large 3D terrain databases.


TerraBuilder Benefits

Do you want to draw together data in a wide range of formats, coordinate systems and spatial resolutions?

TerraBuilder can support data import in a wide range of formats, merge data of different resolutions and sizes and then re-project them into a common reference projection. TerraBuilder fuses all imagery sources into a seamless mosaic that is draped over the respective elevation model.

Do you want to minimize disk storage and network bandwidth?

TerraBuilder compresses your multi-resolution data into a single stream-optimized file to minimize disk storage and network bandwidth requirements.

Do you want to save time by streaming aerial and elevation data in their native formats?

TerraBuilder, with the DirectConnect component, saves time and resources by skipping the MPT 3D terrain database creation altogether and streaming the native data (e.g., ECW, Mr. SID), using the TerraGate server, to TerraExplorer and TerraExplorer Pro users.

Do you want to enjoy near real-time updates?

With TerraBuilder DirectConnect component, once an updated image or elevation source is available, it can be loaded in a TerraBuilder project and be immediately available, in 3D form, for clients to work with over the network.

Do you want to process gigabytes of source data into a single 3D database?

The TerraBuilder Multi-Processor extension enables every computer on a network to be used for MPT creation, adding distributed computing power to the 3D terrain generation process. TerraBuilder Multi-Processor Edition reduces your production time by an order of magnitude.

Do you want to manipulate your data sources to your specifications?

With TerraBuilder, you can adjust a source’s dimensions, resolution, color parameters and elevation, as well as easily clip the section of the source you want included in the final project.
