Hexagon releases new on-demand geospatial data products on HxDR and integration with GIS applications

New developments in the Hexagon Digital Reality (HxDR) platform heighten the convenience and broaden access to on-demand geospatial content from the Content Program, Hexagon’s library of 2D and 3D aerial datasets.

(Heerbrugg, Switzerland, 23 September 2024) Hexagon’s Geosystems division announced today that new 2D and 3D geospatial data products are being added to the HxDR platform. In addition, HxDR now provides expanded delivery options for on-demand content. 

The Hexagon Content Program is the leading provider of high-resolution aerial data for locations worldwide. It is available for purchase on HxDR, Hexagon’s cloud-based storage, visualisation, collaboration and e-commerce platform for geospatial data of any scale. With this offering, customers can now access an even broader on-demand data catalogue and instantly download or stream data into their GIS or custom applications.

“As a one-stop shop for geospatial data, HxDR enables customers to make on-demand purchases of high-quality data to streamline their workflows,” says John Welter, President, Geospatial Content Solutions, at Hexagon’s Geosystems division. “The recent announcement reflects our commitment to make high-resolution datasets conveniently accessible to the GIS community so users can focus on achieving project success and operational efficiency.”

HxDR offers the following 2D and 3D datasets:

  • Photogrammetric point clouds: An imagery-derived elevation solution at 10 ppm2 (30 cm point spacing) offering cost-effective modelling for urban and rural environments.

  • Aerial mesh models: 3D models at 5 – 8 cm GSD derived from imagery and LiDAR in key urban locations to create a virtual representation of the real world.

  • Standard orthoimagery: Wide-area collection imagery at 12.5 – 30 cm GSD designed for base mapping, feature extraction, and large-scale monitoring and analysis.

  • True orthoimagery: High-resolution imagery captured at 5.0 cm GSD with true nadir viewing geometry to increase observation of surface features in urban locations.

  • LiDAR: Elevation coverages in multiple GSDs and formats for mapping applications across various environments.

The Hexagon Content Program provides a library of consistent, high-resolution aerial imagery, elevation data, 3D models and analytics collected with best-in-class airborne sensing technology. The consistent, high-quality datasets empower deeper insights to understand and address today’s most challenging problems.
