Is it real? Or is it photogrammatic visualization?

The power of photogrammetry and 3D visualization. This orthophotography was acquired by PhotoScience, Inc. based in Kentucky. Using orthorectification and stereo feature extraction, it is possible to create realistic scenes like this and navigate through it on your desktop.

The Days Inn wasn't really there in its current location. However we wanted to see what it would look like if we did "put" one there and then drive by it. I extracted the Days Inn from another area of the stereo photography and placed it in its new location.

What a fantastic way to visualize an urban area before the buildings are actually there.
