@cornu__copia Yeah lots of planning departments are looking for people here, I don't think lack of fluency in Swedish should be an issue. Many of my former colleagues at the Stockholm planning / GIS-department initially, came from abroad, spoke English and then picked it up over time.

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.

@stash_pomichter Awesome! What drone is this?

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

@Azadux How do you reckon they do off axis views? My experiments with splatting proper aerial surveys have mostly failed and struggled because of that :/

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

Gaussian splat with mesh background.

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

@ben_sdl Awesome!

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

The top of Stockholm City Hall.

@0xSero Not manufacturing before robotics?

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

Another attempt from a few months ago.

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

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.

Recent facade scan.

@ben_sdl My (admittedly limited) experience with German data bureaucrats tells me they tend to be reluctant to share data :p Best of luck!

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

@GeringerAdam Haven't tried scanning repeating pipes, but COLMAP supports both sequential and positional pose priors, which should help no?

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

Using Gaussian splats to see through intricate structures.

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

@Christo25568024 I don't think training anything is required for nice cross sections, simply filtering and using an orthographic view / camera should be enough, although a model could perhaps be nice for removing e.g. shadows.

@lichtfeldstudio Almost! It's Cochem Castle on the Moselle, which is ~50 km upstream of the Rhine.

[Benjamin Henriksson @BenjaminEmHe]

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.

@SpenserFX Have you tried running the sampled viewpoints through an upscaling model to see if it's possible to get even higher resolution?👀
