The EOC Geoservice of the Earth Observation Center (EOC) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) provides discovery, visualization, and direct download services for a selection of the geospatial data hosted by the German Satellite Data Archive (D-SDA). Based on web technologies and running on high-performance hardware large geospatial datasets can be accessed through the EOC Geoservice. To find out more, see the About page or take a look at the Geoservice Flyer.
The World Settlement Footprint (WSF) 3D datasets provide detailed quantification of the average height, total volume, total area and the fraction of buildings at 90 m resolution at a global scale. It is generated using a modified version of the World Settlement Footprint human settlements mask derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery in combination with digital elevation data and radar imagery collected by the TanDEM-X mission. [1]. In addition to the 2D view in the WMS, the data is also accessible to the user in a 3D view. It is a derivative of the WSF3D raster dataset tailored for the web. As a tiled vector dataset, it enables dynamic client-side visualization of the WSF3D metrics. The WSF 3D datasets can be explored via EOC GeoService Webapp [2], via the 3D Viewer [3] or can be downloaded directly from the EOC Download Service [4].
