OS 3D Mesh

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.

Captures colour and texture information similar to human vision, including overhangs and bridges.

Includes both the ground terrain and features present on the surface, modelled as a single continuous mesh.

Use cases

  • Urban planners can visualise developments and assess their impact on views and greenspaces. 
  • Infrastructure teams use to plan wind farms and electricity pylons, assessing risks from underground assets.
  • Emergency services apply it to flood modelling and disaster response planning.
