14 projects selected for funding and aimed at developing EGNOS at regional airports

20.7.2016 15:35   European GNSS Agency  
Share it now!
These grants ensure that more European operators and aircraft, such as the ATR 42-600 (pictured) are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures.
Published: 
20 July 2016

European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

Specifically, the following results are expected:

  • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
  • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
  • 15 PinS LPV procedures
  • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
  • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
  • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
  • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
  • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

“These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

    European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

    The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

    The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

    In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

    Specifically, the following results are expected:

    • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
    • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
    • 15 PinS LPV procedures
    • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
    • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
    • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
    • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
    • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

    “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

    The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

    The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

        Published: 
        20 July 2016

        European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

        The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

        In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

        Specifically, the following results are expected:

        • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
        • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
        • 15 PinS LPV procedures
        • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
        • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
        • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
        • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
        • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

        “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

        The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

        20 July 2016

        European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

        The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

        In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

        Specifically, the following results are expected:

        • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
        • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
        • 15 PinS LPV procedures
        • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
        • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
        • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
        • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
        • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

        “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

        The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

          European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

          The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

          In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

          Specifically, the following results are expected:

          • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
          • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
          • 15 PinS LPV procedures
          • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
          • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
          • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
          • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
          • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

          “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

          The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

              European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

              The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

              The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

              In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

              Specifically, the following results are expected:

              • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
              • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
              • 15 PinS LPV procedures
              • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
              • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
              • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
              • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
              • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

              “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

              The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

              The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                  20 July 2016

                  European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                  The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                  In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                  Specifically, the following results are expected:

                  • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                  • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                  • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                  • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                  • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                  • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                  • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                  • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                  “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                  The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                  In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                  Specifically, the following results are expected:

                  • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                  • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                  • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                  • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                  • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                  • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                  • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                  • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                  “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                  The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                    Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                    Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                      First 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/GRANT/EGNOS/03/2014 producing results

                      Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                      Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                      20 July 2016

                      European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                      The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                      The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                      In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                      Specifically, the following results are expected:

                      • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                      • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                      • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                      • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                      • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                      • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                      • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                      • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                      “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                      The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                      The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                        First 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/GRANT/EGNOS/03/2014 producing results

                        Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                        Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                        20 July 2016

                        European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                        The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                        In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                        Specifically, the following results are expected:

                        • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                        • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                        • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                        • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                        • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                        • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                        • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                        • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                        “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                        The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                          Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                          Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                          European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                          The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                          In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                          Specifically, the following results are expected:

                          • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                          • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                          • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                          • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                          • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                          • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                          • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                          • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                          “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                          The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                          First 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/GRANT/EGNOS/03/2014 producing results

                          Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                          Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                          These grants ensure that more European operators and aircraft, such as the ATR 42-600 (pictured) are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures.
                          Published: 
                          20 July 2016

                          European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                          The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                          In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                          Specifically, the following results are expected:

                          • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                          • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                          • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                          • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                          • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                          • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                          • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                          • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                          “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                          The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                            ContextCapture Improves Quality of Reality Modeling Within Geospatial Workflows

                            19.7.2016 17:01   Bentley Systems  

                            Bentley Systems announces general access to the latest release of ContextCapture and ContextCapture Center. This release enhances the accessibility, scale, and quality of reality models that can be produced for use in BIM and geospatial workflows. Key capabilities include:

                            • New multi-resolution mesh support for third-party formats including Esri i3s, Google Earth KML, SpaceEyes3D, OSGB (OpenSceneGraph), and LODTreeExport formats.
                            • Multi-resolution mesh support for ContextCapture’s native 3MX format.
                            • A threefold increase from 30 to 100 gigapixels of imagery that can be processed with ContextCapture.

                            The expansion of multi-resolution format support enables ContextCapture to provide improved quality and performance of reality modeling data within geospatial workflows, particularly valuable for the large community of ArcGIS and other geospatial users. These users can now reduce the cost and time for reality capture and increase accessibility of reality data throughout projects and among enterprise stakeholders. 

                            The expansion in processing capacity to 100 gigapixels for ContextCapture makes it affordable and easier to produce larger models and 3D meshes with high fidelity and cm level precision, even at scales as large as entire cities (kilometer scale models).

                            “At Christopher Burke Engineering we are always innovating to deliver cutting-edge services to our clients and look to Bentley’s ContextCapture to complement our traditional survey approaches. The software allows us to very easily process hundreds of images taken by drone or hand-held digital camera into a 3D reality mesh that can then be consumed inside Bentley OpenRoads products to speed our civil engineering design work. We are eager to begin deploying this technology on a wide array of projects,” said Christopher B. Burke, Ph.D., PE, D.WRE, Dist.M. ASCE, NAC, president, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd.

                            “With this release of ContextCapture, reality meshes are now more accessible throughout ArcGIS workflows as well as Bentley’s native V8i design modeling workflows including those using OpenRoads, AECOsim, and OpenPlant. Through our advances in integrating reality models of any scale into geospatial workflows, GIS professionals, particularly those using Esri ArcGIS products, can now affordably incorporate high-fidelity models of the real world into their existing GIS datasets,” said Santanu Das, SVP, design modeling at Bentley Systems.

                            INSPIRE téma Adresy (AD)

                            19.7.2016 2:00   Cenia - Katalog metadat ČR - INSPIRE   Data odpovídají směrnici INSPIRE pro téma adresy (AD). Vychází především z projektu RÚIAN (Registr územní identifikace, adres a nemovitostí), který je součástí základních registrů České Republiky a obsahuje informace o územní identifikaci, adresách a nemovitostech. Data publikovaná v rámci INSPIRE obsahují pouze adresní místa a jejich komponenty, kterými jsou stát, obec, část obce, městský obvod v Praze (MOP), městký obvod/městská část (MO/MČ), ulice a pošta a to na území celé České Republiky. Obsahují rozvněž geometrii, která určuje definiční bod adresního místa. V datové sadě nění uvedeno 2,63%, t.j. 76236 adresních míst (k 18. 07. 2016), protože neobsahují definiční bod, podle kterého by je bylo možné prostorově určit. Více v zákoně č. 111/2009 Sb., o základních registrech a ve vyhlášce č. 359/2011 Sb., o základním registru územní identifikace, adres a nemovitostí v platných zněních a INSPIRE Data Specification on Addresses v 3.0.1 z 26.4.2010.

Vychází z katastrální mapy, která je závazným státním mapovým dílem velkého měřítka, obsahuje body polohového bodového pole, polohopis a popis a může mít formu digitální mapy, analogové mapy nebo digitalizované mapy. Data publikovaná v rámci INSPIRE obsahují pouze katastrální území (pro celou Českou Republiku) a parcely a jejich hranice z území, kde je digitální mapa (k 18. 07. 2016 je to 84,63% území České republiky, t.j. 66 743,72km2).

Data pochází částečně z projektu RÚIAN (Registr územní identifikace, adres a nemovitostí), který je součástí základních registrů České Republiky a obsahuje informace o územní identifikaci, adresách a nemovitostech, a částečně z ISKN (Informační systém katastru nemovistostí). Zdrojem informací o budovách v ISKN je objekt Stavba, v RÚIAN je to Stavební objekt. Většina Staveb je zároveň Stavebními objekty, ale jsou případy, kdy tomu tak není. Kromě Budov datová sada obsahuje i části budov, které jsou pro potřeby INSPIRE vyjádřeny vchody z RÚIAN. Vchody obsahují informace o počtu podlaží, technickoekonomických atributech apod. Datová sada pokrývá celé území české republiky. V datové sadě není uvedeno 2,14%, t.j. 89723 budov (k 18. 07. 2016), protože neobsahují definiční bod ani polygon.
