LuxCarta introduced its newest BrightEarth service: the accurate and real-time extraction of building footprints and tree polygons from sub-meter  imagery. LuxCarta will be demonstrating this new functionality on its stand #2326 at this year’s I/ITSEC global simulation and training event in Orlando, Florida, 29 November to 2 December.

BrightEarth lets users upload their own sub-meter licensed imagery to unlock further value from it. With a library of published APIs, it supports system-wide integrations and also supports OGC standard streaming protocols. There is even an optional height value for 3D products derived from global elevation data or measurement of shadow lengths. LuxCarta launched its BrightEarth platform at last year’s virtual vIITSEC. Initial products launched on the service included a global imagery mosaic and Land Use/Land Cover at 10-meter resolution. BrightEarth now includes a high-resolution real-time extraction capability for building footprints and tree polygons, along with 23-class LULC and DTM to complement the 10m global products.

The BrightEarth building and tree extraction service provides a way to get consistent data anywhere in the world. BrightEarth’s machine learning algorithms are based on the company’s history of creating derived geospatial products. Validated LuxCarta data sets are used to seed the algorithm to discern between building types around the world, i.e., European villages vs favelas in Brazil. The result is a 93%+ capture rate that delivers geospecific accuracy to any terrain.

“This is the logical next level for training simulators: on-demand geospatial inputs for their synthetic environments,” said Albéric Maumy, CEO of LuxCarta.
