Аннотация:Virtual modeling is a rapidly developingtechnology that use spatial information. Any kind of spatial data is potentially suitable for creating virtual models. The simplest and cheapest to obtain are virtual models with the territory represented as a single surface, not divided into separate objects. Such models are often done according to aerial photography from UAVs, but this is extremely inconvenient, inefficient and is a dead end approach – especially when modeling large areas.In this paper, we consider a different approach to creating virtual models based on aerial photography from UAVs, laser scanning of the terrain, and an object-oriented approach. Buildings and structures are considered as separate objects associated with the database and hyperlinks. The accuracy of the reference corresponds to the accuracy of topographic plans on a scale of 1: 500. In accordance with the foregoing, we have produced several models of urban centers in the Russian Federation.
