For the first time, researchers have assembled a complete digital picture of the world’s built environment, mapping every ...

From a digital vantage point in orbit, scientists have mapped every building on Earth—2.75 billion structures, all in 3D.

A first-ever 3D model of the Rano Raraku quarry lets anyone examine Easter Island’s iconic statue workshop in vivid detail.

Well, here's something you don't see every day: all 2.75 billion buildings of the world shown together in a single 3D map.

With the GlobalBuildingAtlas, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has created the first ...

We’re documenting something that really has needed to be documented, but in a way that’s really comprehensive and shareable.” ...

Archeologists have used drones and photogrammetry to create a map of the quarry that produced 95 of Easter Island's statues.

D mapping reveals Easter Island's iconic statues were built by competing family clans, not centralized rulers.

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of ...

Abstract: Topological maps are a common framework for enabling autonomous robotic navigation. To be effective for robotic exploration the maps must be able to be generated quickly and compact enough ...

Abstract: Radio Maps (RMs) play a pivotal role in optimizing communication networks by providing critical insights into signal propagation and coverage. However, existing RM construction methods are ...
