EasyDigiTwin - Mobile Mapping

Development of an AI-based mobile mapping process for the low-threshold creation of urban digital twins

The use of an urban digital twin, a comprehensive virtual image of a city, can significantly simplify municipal tasks such as infrastructure management. However, creating a digital twin through mobile mapping has so far required expensive equipment and specialized professionals.

Together with the Westfälische Hochschule, we are developing a user-friendly and cost-effective mobile mapping process called EasyDigiTwin to create urban digital twins. This process is designed to enable cities and administrations to create their own digital twins and allow broad access to this technology and its benefits.

EasyDigiTwin will implement a prototype for a low-cost approach to mobile mapping using only cameras and GPS receivers. In order to then extract three-dimensional information from the image data, a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence method called Neural Radiance Fields - NeRF is used. This should further help to reduce costs while at the same time achieving a first-class quality.

EasyDigiTwin is being funded by the BMDV with around €200,000 until August 2024 as part of the mFUND innovation initiative. The BMDV has been funding data-based research and development projects for the digital and networked mobility of the future with mFUND since 2016.
