Three states of the German Länder - Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westfalen
The Offices for Land Surveying of three German States have chosen Laser-Scan technology to develop their generalisation capability.
Generalisation is the task of deriving appropriate data and mapping for large areas, starting from very detailed data and mapping. Laser-Scan’s product will be used for generalising data held in the German standard ATKIS data model. The three offices involved in the combined project are from Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westfalen.
This project will develop a standard software module based on Laser-Scan's LAMPS2 for model generalisation. The generalisation will start with the Base Digital Landscape Model (at scales between 1:5,000 and 1:10,000) and will derive a coarser landscape model at a scale of 1:50,000. Included in the project is the development of transfer facilities using a new German standard NAS (Normbasierte Austauschschnittstelle) that conforms to ISO-standards rather than the existing EDBS (Einheitliche Datenbankschnittstelle).
Laser-Scan Managing Director Dr Michael Sanderson commented:
"We are extremely proud to have won this prestigious contract in a new international market. Laser-Scan's generalisation technology is way ahead of the field; our previous work with the AGENT project has helped us to achieve this. The developments within this project will enable Baden-Württemberg and its colleagues to significantly extend the use of its base data model."
The Offices for Land Surveying are responsible for the state survey and also partly for the real estate cadastre; they cooperate within the Working Committee of the Surveying Authorities of the States of the Federal Republic of Germany (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Vermessungsverwaltungen der Länder der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (AdV)).
Dr Brigitte Husen from Nordrhein-Westfalen, the head of the project technical steering committee says:
“We are looking forward to a promising cooperation with Laser-Scan. Within this project we will develop a solution that automatically derives and updates datasets with a lower resolution and a reduced information content from our ATKIS-Basis-DLM.”
Laser-Scan's LAMPS2 Generaliser product is based on the results of the highly successful AGENT (Automated GEneralisation New Technology) project (Esprit 24939). Combined with the underlying Gothic object-oriented spatial database and toolkit, Generaliser can make possible exciting and profitable new automated flowlines for generalisation. This project will develop Laser-Scan’s existing capabilities for data model generalisation in conjunction with its world leading cartographic capabilities.
