🗺️ ABot‑Earth 0.5: Building the World in 3D with AI

Turn any ordinary satellite photo into a detailed, fly‑through 3D model of the Earth — in less than 10 minutes per square kilometre.

That is exactly what ABot‑Earth 0.5 , developed by Alibaba’s AMAP team, just published this month. The novel generative model formulated directly with the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) representation. It changes how we map, view, and interact with our planet.

🔍 Zoom from Space down to street level

  • ABot‑Earth uses only standard satellite images as input.

  • It generates 1 km² of detailed 3D terrain in under 10 minutes, and has consistent geometry and textures that match real‑world physics.

  • It already covers 300+ cities across 190+ countries, and can fill in areas where no 3D scans exist at all.

  • Using the LOD Quadtree Tile Hierarchy tiles, it has 6 levels of built‑in detail.

✅ Fast, low‑cost, and everywhere

Traditional 3D mapping needs expensive planes, LiDAR scanners, and months of work — and still only covers major cities. ABot‑Earth can generate 3D terrain for any spot on Earth, even remote or poorly mapped regions, at a tiny fraction of the usual cost.

Whether you’re curious to see what a remote area looks like in 3D, planning a project, or just love exploring our world, this is your new window to the Earth.

🤖 More than just pretty pictures

These models are simulation‑ready: PERFECT for:

  • Training drones for autonomous delivery

  • Planning cities - infrastructure design, and traffic simulation

  • Generating instant 3D views for disaster response.
