This Google Sketchup-based model of the Usama Bin Laden compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan was converted into a 3D GeoPDF image with TerraGo 3D Composer.

LiDAR-Derived Mountain Scene

Image description:
This image is taken from a 3D GeoPDF that displays a portion of the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City, UT. It allows users to visualize the rugged terrain of the area using a LiDAR derived interactive 3D model.

Geographic location represented:
North of Salt Lake City, UT at 40.8 N, 111.86 W

Using imagery captured on Sept. 7, 2010 by DigitalGlobe’s QuickBird satellite, TerraGo created this GeoPDF image. The image captured by DigitalGlobe is a pan-sharpened false color composite. The false color band combination shows healthy vegetation as bright red and allows for greater visualization of the burn area.

Using TerraGo Publisher for Raster, the original image was reduced from 240Mb to 7Mb for easy distribution online, via email, or by other means. By downloading TerraGo Toolbar, you can use this image to perform geospatial functions such as:

Access Geo

• Use while connected to a network or when offline in the field, even on a smartphone or handheld mobile device
• Reference up to three geographic coordinate systems
• Measure length and area
• Switch to Google Maps view when online

Capture Geo

• Capture field observations as georeferenced points, lines, polygons, and stamps
• Embed georeferenced multimedia such as comments, images, video, audio, and hyperlinks

Collaborate with Geo

• Share on-the-ground intelligence and collaborate with peers in the field by simply exporting and importing shapefile, kml, or TerraGo collaboration formats from GeoPDF
• Roundtrip field information such as georeferenced notes and multimedia files back to GIS and other enterprise systems

This GeoPDF contains imagery taken over an area in 1989, that same area in 1992 and the output of a change detection process run to highlight pixels that had significant change between the two dates. Using the layer display control panel, you can toggle layers on and off to visualize the multi-date data and results.   

In this GeoPDF map, the route travelled by President Obama on inauguration day is marked using a TerraGo GeoMark line, a custom format allowing for the capture of geographic information in markups and comments. The route is also annotated with hyperlinks to additional information and images. These markups can be exported for use by others.

This GeoPDF showing a multiband image of Boulder, Colorado was created from TerraGo Publisher for Raster and enabled for dynamic control over the bands used for display. After launching the layer controls, you can change red to use Band 4, green to use Band 3 and blue to use Band 2 to display the image in false color.

This image of the US Capital provided by GeoEye allows consumers of the GeoPDF to measure and markup the image with additional information. This GeoPDF was created using the static RGB option in TerraGo Publisher for Raster; therefore, the band combinations used for display cannot be changed in this GeoPDF map, but the file size of the final product has been reduced. If file size is a concern, Publisher for Raster provides a number of options for controlling and optimizing the production of your GeoPDF map.
