The changing shoreline around the Hoover Dam is a reminder that terrain is constantly evolving. Whether from drought, seasonal conditions, or long-term environmental change. Those changes can alter access points and affect the physical environment that engineers, planners, and resource managers rely on every day.
When those changes affect planning and operations, organizations need more than historical terrain. They need current ground truth. That's why we launched WorldView 3D Rapid.
WorldView 3D Rapid gives customers a faster way to generate updated 3D terrain from space, helping them make decisions with a more current view of the physical world. When the landscape changes, your understanding of it should change just as quickly.

Skyfall-GS: Synthesizing Immersive 3D Urban Scenes from Satellite Imagery
TL;DR: Skyfall-GS converts satellite images to explorable 3D urban scenes using diffusion models, with real-time rendering performance.
Contributions:
• We introduce Skyfall-GS, the first method to synthesize immersive, real-time, free-flight navigable 3D urban scenes solely from multi-view satellite imagery using generative refinement.
• An open-domain refinement approach leverages pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models without domain-specific training.
• A curriculum-learning-based iterative refinement strategy progressively enhances reconstruction quality from higher to lower viewpoints, significantly improving visual fidelity in occluded areas.
