This is crazy.
Interesting one from Alibaba.
ABot-Earth - converts flat satellite images into interactive 3D worlds.
- brings high-detail 3D views to regions that currently only have flat 2D maps.
- generates at 10 mins/sq km
- OGC 3D Tiles compliant
- makes city-scale digital twins + UAV simulation.

Struggling with Gaussian splats in ArcGIS :/ Partly because it's still a poor renderer, but also in part due to the splats below ground being clipped. I reckon better priors would help for urban reconstruction.

The @lichtfeldstudio interface is so slick compared to even just 6 months ago.
Interestingly, Ericsson, the world's second-largest telecom equipment maker, is exploring using Neural Radiance Fields to reconstruct 3D geometry and RF propagation for real-world mobile network modelling.
