This 3D TIN model of Sydney, Australia was generated by Airbus Pixel Factory Neo photogrammetric software from images captured on 06/26/2021 by Pléiades Neo.

Sydney is the capital of the state of New South Wales and is the most populated city in Australia. The city is renowned for the beauty of its world-famous harbour area, Circular Quay, which this image shows in precise detail. 

Perhaps the most striking element is the iconic Sydney Opera House, visible in the middle of the left side of the image. In the top left-hand corner, there is the Royal Botanic Garden area, home to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the landmark Mrs Macquarie's Chair. The very top left shows the Potts Point district.

Directly below the Opera House is the equally famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. Going to the right of the bridge and closer to the Opera House is the historical Rocks Square. The Walsh Bay docks are at the bottom left with the Barangaroo Reserve parkland in the middle of the image. The Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag are clearly visible in the Barangaroo Reserve. The middle of the image to the far right shows the impressive Sydney Central Business District and King Street Wharf Darling Harbour. 

The quality of the image was made possible by the processing power of the Pixel Factory Neo software from Airbus. Able to ingest any optical sensor, Pixel Factory Neo creates highly accurate geospatial products like Digital Elevation Models, cloud-free mosaics and 3D TIN models. Pixel Factory Neo is a state-of-the-art, scalable, high-performance geo-processing system.
