Generating True Digital Orthophoto Maps (#TDOMs) has been a challenge, especially with complex #terrains. Here's a breakthrough!The Ortho-NeRF approach uses Neural Radiance Field to create TDOMs without prior 3D #geometry info, outperforming!#UAV ☞: doi.org/10.1080/100950…

There's a LOT of hype at the moment for Google DeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundations. But despite what you may have heard, Google wasn't the first to do this. Here's what came before, and what AEF does differently.

From my map archives (and one of my favorite maps I've made): A map of the density of DC's urban canopy. This is NOT a map of all the trees in DC (there are plenty of street trees in the white areas on this map)...

Exciting news for #QGIS users! The "Google Earth Engine Plugin for QGIS" is now updated with new no-code tools that allow you to download and use #EarthEngine datasets in QGIS easily. Check out my newly contributed tutorials for the latest plugin (1/n) 👇

if you want to explore this data yourself, I made an interactive web map based on it, showing DC's urban canopy height at 1 m resolution along with a separate layer showing statistics on average and maximum canopy height by ANC single member district

GlobalBuildingAtlas was published today. 2.75B footprints covering the entire world. Planet Labs imagery + some fancy AI was used for some of footprints while OSM, MS and Google's footprints were used for others.

Time has slowed down these last 3 days waiting for this. Citystate Metropolis is on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2828020/Ci… Gameplay trailer below, wishlists open!

Day 3 of #30DayMapChallenge — Polygons! Maps are a great way to visualise time series data as they happen on the ground. For today's theme I decided to plot a traditionally economic indicator—employment share in manufacturing—across the Rust Belt states from 1977-2016.

OpenBuildingMap has building footprints, heights, floorspace and 8 categories of use across 2.7B buildings around the Globe. tech.marksblogg.com/open-building-… Thank you Laurens Oostwegel for your great research & thank you to Jed Sundwall for hosting the Parquet version on S3.
