OS 3D Mesh is a stand-alone product providing a photorealistic three-dimensional representation of the surface of the Earth and any features sitting above it, such as buildings, roads, and vegetation. The 3D mesh provided by this product can be used to visualise an area (for example, for urban planning and citizen engagement) or for analytical tasks such as line-of-sight analysis for the telecommunications and security sectors. OS 3D Mesh is derived from aerial imagery captured as part of our national imagery capture programme.
In addition to the enhanced attribution, 54 new classification codes have been added to the product to give an overview of the type of networks that cross over and / or under bridges (for example, Footbridge Over Canal).
The new bridge interactions data will give Emergency Services the ability to better:
Pinpoint and verify the location of an incident
Analyse the trends and patterns of incidents to help identify risks and support incident planning
Provide situational awareness
Report on incidents
Dispatch and deploy to accurate locations
Perform quick and accurate gazetteer searches
