What is a terrain database?
It's an interactive, 3D virtual world that provides a context for visualizing geographic, operational, or business data.
Applications
- Event planning
- Asset tracking
- Site security
- Operations/C2
- Camera placement
- Line of sight analysis
- Presentation
Integration
Our datasets are fully compatible with the open source, industry standard OpenSceneGraph visualization engine and the many file formats it supports. Pelican will also provide viewing software upon request.

3D Terrain Production
Pelican builds high-performance, interactive 3D terrain datasets tuned to your application. We use a variety of off-the-shelf, open source, and in-house tools and techniques to achieve unmatched scalability, performance, visual quality and interopability.
Not Just a Pretty Picture
Our datasets are designed with real-world applications in mind, like site security, surveillance, event planning, or command and control operations. In addition to being visually compelling, our datasets are connected to their source data. By using our open source tools, your application can leverage the richly-attributed data behind the 3D model, all at run-time.
A Comprehensive Service
No matter what kind of source data you have, chances are we've worked with it before. Our team can start with any data you have - or we can start with nothing and collect it for you. Leave the details of processing it for use in the terrain DB to us. We have years of experience in working with obscure datasets and in tuning datasets to applications. We will make sure it runs right in yours. And you need a viewer for your dataset, we can provide that too.
