From WindPRO: Power towers imported as control points

Introduction

windPRO contains a database of existing tower locations derived from the Open Street Map project.
In windPRO, OSM Towers are available through two datasets, each holding different subsets of landscape elements:

    • OSM Towers (antennas, masts, tall chimneys)
    • OSM Power Towers (Electrical transmission towers)

Towers from OSM are particularly useful as reference points for the calibration of a PHOTOMONTAGE. As tall elements in the landscape, they are indeed very often visible on photos.

Usage Notes

  • The towers are imported in windPRO as Control Point objects, defined at the ground level.
  • Each tower is imported within a user defined radius around the position of the site center.
  • When available, meta data such as the height or the type of tower is included in the description of the object.
