Important company update

DataDEV GmbH has become MapTerra GmbH.

Our new name makes our focus easier to understand: image and point cloud viewers, AI analytics, and GIS, CAD and BIM data integration. For our customers, the team, contacts, services and quality standards remain unchanged.

3D-data management system: MapTerra AI-Viewer

The AI-Viewer turns 3D infrastructure data into actionable insight.

The MapTerra AI-Viewer is the central platform for point clouds, panoramas, orthophotos, GIS/CAD data, IFC models and AI results. It combines data from mobile mapping, drone/UAV surveys, terrestrial laser scanning, photogrammetry and existing GIS/CAD/BIM sources in one browser-based system. Project states from different epochs can be stored, synchronized and compared.

AI-Viewer focus

One data space for mobile mapping, drones, TLS, orthophotos and models

The AI-Viewer is more than a 3D viewer: it is the web workspace where technical project teams inspect, measure, compare, annotate and export infrastructure data.

  • View point clouds, 360° panoramas, orthophotos and domain layers together
  • Overlay GIS, DXF, GeoPackage, GeoJSON, LandXML and raster data
  • Inspect IFC and 3D models in the context of LiDAR data
  • Create 2D/3D measurements, profiles, areas, volumes and volume differences
  • Use markers, attachments, project roles and exports for team workflows
  • Publish AI detections and expert analytics as project layers
Now more visible: upload point clouds, imagery, DXF/shapes, IFC and detections; use integrated processing such as blurring, octree creation, final viewer setup and AI tools for traffic signs, traffic lights, HRI, road assessment and sidewalks.

Built for large-scale infrastructure programs

MapTerra combines AI, viewer delivery and operational throughput. We are strongest where large networks, high data volumes and traceable outputs need to work together.

Deutsche Bahn Framework partner for topographic extractions and viewer solutions.
Autobahn projects Extensive evaluations for road and infrastructure programs with wide geographic coverage.
AI over one-off extraction Object recognition, condition assessment and change detection from mobile mapping, drone, TLS and orthophoto data.
Value proposition

Why MapTerra is positioned differently today

Inspired by modern platform and service offerings, we design infrastructure workflows around usable outcomes: current capture, AI interpretation and direct delivery in the viewer instead of isolated data handover.

01

AI extraction of infrastructure assets

Traffic signs, markings, poles, vegetation, surfaces and additional asset classes are detected, classified and georeferenced automatically into usable data products.

02

Digital twins for planning and operations

Instead of isolated outputs, teams get robust 2D/3D foundations with attributes, conditions and visual evidence for planning, operations and documentation.

03

Viewer as the daily workspace

The MapTerra Viewer makes AI results directly accessible in the browser with GIS context, measurements and clean sharing workflows for many users.

04

Mobile Mapping as a Service

Capture, processing, anonymization, viewer publishing and AI analytics come from one source as a scalable service model for recurring update cycles.

MapTerra Viewer

The viewer becomes the workspace for AI-enabled infrastructure projects

In the MapTerra Viewer, maps, imagery, point clouds and GIS data come together. AI outputs are not just exported—they become visible, verifiable and immediately usable in operational context.

  • Synchronized navigation across map, image and 3D point cloud
  • 2D/3D measurements, profiles, areas and volumes
  • Attribute search, layer control and vectorization
  • Topographic extractions and AI results in the same workspace
  • GIS export, permissions and browser-based access for many parallel users
  • Ideal for rail, motorway, asset and FTTH projects
Commercially compelling: the viewer combines the clarity of modern web viewers with the depth of real infrastructure data—from 360° imagery and point clouds to GIS layers and AI object lists.

Mobile Mapping as a Service

Current capture, AI analytics and viewer publishing as one service

MapTerra delivers more than capture data. We provide a full update workflow: drive, process, handle sensitive content locally or in EU-oriented environments, generate AI outputs and publish everything in the viewer for project teams.

Use cases

AI use cases for roads, rail and municipal infrastructure

The underlying data model can be transferred across infrastructure domains, from traffic management to asset operations.

RT

Traffic & RTTI

Current mobility data, AI recognition of signs and roadside assets, plus change detection for continuous updates.

AM

Asset management

AI-supported inventory and condition information provides a stronger basis for budgeting, maintenance and prioritization.

FT

FTTH & route planning

Recognize surfaces, obstacles and roadside objects early to reduce site visits and create more robust designs.

RA

Road condition

Automatically assess cracks, patches, potholes, curb damage and settlements from high-quality imagery and 3D data.

DI

Digital twin

Point clouds, imagery and GIS become one traceable twin for operations, communication and evidence.

EU

Data sovereignty

For sensitive infrastructure data, local or EU-based storage and processing is becoming increasingly important.
