Description
AlphaEarth Foundations, a cutting-edge AI model developed by DeepMind, functions as a "virtual satellite" by synthesizing extensive and diverse Earth observation data, which includes optical and radar imagery, 3D laser mapping, and climate simulations, into a compact and unified embedding for every 10x10 meter area of land and coastal regions. This innovative approach allows for efficient, on-demand mapping of planet-wide terrains while significantly reducing storage requirements compared to earlier systems. By merging various data streams, it adeptly addresses issues of data overload and inconsistencies, resulting in summaries that are 16 times smaller than those generated by traditional methods, all while achieving a remarkable 24% reduction in error for tested tasks, even in scenarios where labeled data is limited. The annual collections of embeddings are made available as the Satellite Embedding dataset on Google Earth Engine, and they are already being utilized by various organizations to classify previously unmapped ecosystems and to monitor changes in agriculture and the environment, showcasing the practical applications of this groundbreaking technology. This model not only enhances our understanding of Earth’s complexities but also paves the way for future advancements in environmental monitoring and conservation efforts.
Description
What used to take hours of manual imagery imports, screenshots, and per-pixel alignment now takes minutes. Plex-Earth pulls satellite and aerial imagery straight into AutoCAD, fully georeferenced, so engineers can skip the guesswork and get to designing.
Choose from basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, add custom WMS/WMTS connections, or tap into premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor. Every mosaic tile is individually georeferenced for precision, a feature unique to Plex-Earth.
For terrain, you can generate contours in seconds, run slope and aspect analysis, calculate cut and fill, or bring in GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM data. Two-way KML functionality moves data between AutoCAD and Google Earth without file juggling.
Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D, and BricsCAD.
