3D Houses

2-week Becode challenge:

We are LIDAR PLANES, active in the Geospatial industry. We need you to build a solution with our data to model a house in 3D with only a home address.

Description & usage:

A python terminal program that uses Flemish gov. Lidar data to create 3D models in Blender.

Aside from a 3D model like you see in the image on top you also get the exact size and area of the property and buildings on the piece of land.

• Needs Mapbox API key for sattelite image overlay
• You need to download following files for it to work:
  • Percelenplan
  • NGI numerieke reeks
  • Extract both zip files "as is" into project folder
• Make sure all libraries are installed for 3D_houses.py (Todo: venv)
• Run 3D_houses.py and enter an address (Flanders only)
• The program will tell you which Lidar images you need to download to create a 3D model on that address.
• Alternatively you can try to download all of them at once with this code
• Download them one by one here and extract them into the DSM_tif and DTM_tif folder respecively:
  • DSM
  • DTM
