In 2012, the entire urban area of Darmstadt was documented by a Cyclomedia mobile mapping campaign. As a result, high-resolution panoramic images of the road area are available. These images were used for texturing the facades of buildings. Conventional aerial photographs were also available for the roof landscape and for the facades, which were not visible from the street. The combined texturing from panorama aerial imagery was realized in 2012 with the system CityGRID^®. Subsequently, this textured model served as a model for the detailing of the city model. Concretely, it was possible to derive drive-throughs, arcades and superstructures from the facade textures. The fully textured city model is mainly used for municipal planning tasks.
