What is BlomURBEX?

BlomURBEX is an online image delivery service hosted by Blom which offers a revolutionary collection of geographical datasets. BlomURBEX presents urban environments in high definition, in both traditional Vertical and Oblique imagery, all captured from at least five different angles. BlomURBEX also allows you to capture and measure using the web browser, which until now was only available through desktop applications.

With close to 100 cities covered across the UK and hundreds in Europe, BlomURBEX covers 80% of the European Population.

BlomURBEX has the following advantages compared with similar geoserver solutions:

• The service is accessible by versatile applications: from desktop to mobile.
• Available whatever the access network: LAN, Internet or mobile networks.
• The system provides high availability, fault tolerance, low latency and easy scalability.
• Delivered data weight is compliant with any potential application even on board and mobile.
• Easily manages large volumes of data (hundreds of Terabytes).
• Data delivery guarantees a minimum data transfer, especially when expensive networks are used (e.g. GPRS).

What can I view in the Demo?

The BlomURBEX demo features the whole urban area of Exeter in the UK. Full measuring and viewing functionality is enabled but some extra functionality is disabled in the demo, but is available in the fully licensed version.

The purpose of this demo is to highlight the possibilities and showcase the potential of what BlomURBEX has to offer. The layout shown in this site isn't indicative of how BlomURBEX should or should not look. Its purely an example of what can be achieved very quickly and simply using the API.

Full coverage of all UK & European cities available on BlomURBEX can be found in the link at the bottom of the page.
