Capabilities

Terrain models, digital orthophotos, oblique aerial photos, point clouds, 3D CityGML data – VC Publisher offers high-performance processing of all manner of geodata. It also configures VC Map according to users’ needs for subsequent publication online (or on an intranet).

VC Publisher supports the straightforward integration of various add-ons, including VC Warehouse as a data sharing platform, VC Planner as a planning module, and VC Database as a source for transforming CityGML objects and making them available to users.

Functionalities of the VC Publisher

Conversion of Geo-Data
Equipped with highly efficient converters, the VC Publisher transforms all input data in raster, vector, or CityGML format into Cesium target formats with a focus on quality and performance.

Automated Data Processing
Processes can be started fully automatically, ensuring that not only the data sources but also all applications are up to date after an update.

Integration into Automated Workflows
The VC Publisher can be integrated into automated workflows and pipelines via the OpenAPI-compliant REST interface to optimize data processing and the publication of map applications.
