3D Pedestrian Network

3D Pedestrian Network

Pedestrian Network is a set of 3D line features derived from road features and road furniture from Lands Department and Transport Department. A number of attributes are associated with the pedestrian network such as spatially related street names. Besides, the pedestrian network includes information like wheelchair accessibility and obstacles to facilitate the digital inclusion for the needy.

Digital Orthophoto

數碼正射影像圖

The Digital Orthophoto is an image map produced by the SMO that provides visual representation of ground features extracted from geometrically rectified aerial photographs. It is characterized by its use of the Hong Kong 1980 Grid system for coordinate reference and a consistent scale for accurate representation. Through the application of digital photogrammetry technology, the rectification process aims to eliminate geometric distortions caused by topographic relief and camera tilt present in the original aerial photographs.

Currently, the Digital Orthophoto consists of six distinct series of products: DOP5000, DOP5000-1982, DOP1000-1963, DOP1000-1982, DOPM50-L0, and TDOP. These series are classified based on factors such as image resolution size, types of source photographs, and the specific orthophoto processing techniques employed. The resulting orthophotos are stored in the GeoTIFF image formats, accompanied by geo-referencing data in a World format.

Users could visit the CSDI Portal to preview and download the Digital Orthophoto.

SatRef GNSS Real Time Raw Data Streams

The Hong Kong Satellite Positioning Reference Station Network (SatRef) has been supporting high accuracy positioning applications for public since 2010. The reference stations receive real-time GNSS signals from GPS, GLONASS and Beidou satellites round-the-clock. The GNSS Real-time raw data streams are then instantaneously disseminated via DATA.GOV.HK as part of the Public Sector Information (PSI). They can be acquired by means of NTRIP with the appropriate settings.

Digital Terrain Model (DTM)

The DTM is a digital terrain model of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It shows the topography of terrain (including non-ground information such as elevated roads and bridges) in 5-metre raster grid with an accuracy of ±5m. If land area is covered by vegetation, the terrain will be depicted by the height of vegetation.

Aerial Photo Flight Index

The aerial photo flight index shows the aerial photo and flight information, including photo number, shooting position, photo coverage, date of flight, flying height etc., of the aerial photographs taken by Survey and Mapping Office (SMO). There are three file formats, XLS / XLSX, KML and KMZ for download. The file in KML and KMZ file format is geo-referenced to World Geodetic System (WGS84), containing both aerial photo and flight information, while the file in XLS / XLSX file format only contains the aerial photo information.
