 Recently a 35.13 terabyte data update in Virtual Earth happend. Some Austrian Cities like:

  • Innsbruck
  • Klagenfurt
  • Linz
  • Salzburg
  • St. Pölten
  • Villach
  • Wels

were also affected. They can be seen now in high resolution. With the “Bird’s Eye View” these Austrian cities can be seen whith an angle of about 45 degrees, where streets, house claddings, trees and parks can be identified. The user can change the viewpoint and the selected area can be seen from all cardinal points.

The 160m² large aerial photo map includes the Dreiländereck Austria-Italy-Slovenia, and is located in Villach, Austria. The three regions of Carinthia, Friuli and Slovenia can be playfully explored from the air: The 160m² large orthophotograph showning parts of Carinthia, Italy and Slovenia is one of main attractions at the new shopping center ATRIO in Villach. 6000 sq. km of the earth’s surface are displayed here in a scale of 1:8000. That allows to display objects in a very large detail: Persons can cross the boarders of three countries, but also individual houses, bridges, cars on the street, trees and many other details can be discovered.

To produce such a great map  several thousand actual flight recordings have to put together, the pictures have to be rectified geometrically and the different coordinate systems of the countries have to fit together. Also shadows has to be maniputated that it appereas that all pictures has been taken on the same time.
