VIZZIO builds the world’s leading 3D modelling and visualisation software, enabling city-scale digital twins and mission-critical dashboards for governments and enterprises. We are a global leader in the production of highly detailed digital replicas of urban landscapes, enriched with semantic 3D data, made readily available for an array of uses including gaming, simulations, training, city planning, defence, sustainability and much more,. No drones or aerial photogrammetry needed.

BEING ABLE TO CAPTURE ANYWHERE GLOBALLY with HIGH ACCURACY IS A MASSIVE GAME CHANGER

We can create a 3D city model of any location on Earth, using satellite imagery and other data sources from from leading geospatial data providers around the globe. The result is a geometrically and positionally accurate, up-to-date 3D model, engineered through a blazing-fast AI-driven process.

Our faithful building facade texturing process combines artificial intelligence, heuristics, and procedural methodologies. We used a UNET neural network, trained on 1500+ different cities across the globe, to classify each pixel into other classes, such as building, shadow, and eight different roof shapes. This unique and patented technique creates a photorealistic, life-like environment from satellite imagery and exogenous data. We can also integrate other relevant data, such as GIS, street names, points of interest, and zoning information. This integration enhances the accuracy and utility of the model.

Utilising advanced machine learning techniques, our algorithms deftly parse raw satellite imagery, while our geographic pipeline extracts semantic information about what's in the world. With each digital twin we build, our AI process becomes increasingly precise and reliable, surpassing the capabilities of aerial photogrammetry, producing positionally and geometrically accurate 3D maps.

We are building the authoritative digital twin of our planet, transforming human understanding of Earth and expanding the horizons of what is possible.

By eliminating the need for conventional remote sensing methods e.g. UAV photogrammetry, we aim to streamline and democratize the process of 3D city modeling, making it more accessible, efficient, and scalable. Our technology empowers stakeholders in urban development, disaster management, and environmental monitoring with precise, up-to-date 3D City-Scale Digital Twins, for simulation, gaming, visualisation, urban planning, smart city, ESG, security & defense applications, fostering informed decision-making and innovative urban solutions for a sustainable future.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Recent advancements in Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry have emphasized the significance of modeling Earth's surface and extracting topographic information. Over the past 15 years, high-resolution satellites, offering images with spatial resolutions of 1 meter or finer and stereoscopic coverage, have emerged as viable alternatives to traditional aerial photography for urban mapping and detailed 3D building modeling. This shift is primarily due to the prohibitive costs associated with conventional aerial photography and drone-photogrammetry, which demand extensive manual labor for drone operation and significant computing resources to convert imagery data into 3D models.

Unlike Google and other Aerial Photogrammetry companies, we build DIMENSIONALLY-ACCURATE, PHOTOREALISTIC, REAL-TIME, SEMANTIC 3D DIGITAL TWIN OF CITIES via deep learning and satellite imagery on a global scale, backed by an AI automated pipeline that segments and understands the semantics of point cloud and generates usable parametric and 3D models.

The challenge of utilising UAV photogrammetry to construct 3D city models lies in the costly and time-consuming nature of the process. Furthermore, obtaining government permits for no-fly zones adds another layer of complexity. This costly and protracted procedure complicates the task of regularly updating the 3D map to ensure its relevance.

⁠

SLOW. EXPENSIVE and LABORIOUS Process of 3D mapping using UAV photogrammetry vs VIZZIO’s patent-protected city mapping methods using 2D satellite imagery & Deep Learning.

As of 2023, it is believed that only 5% of the planet has been mapped using LiDAR systems. Although LiDAR maps are incredibly useful, collecting the data is time-consuming and expensive. Building a LiDAR map of one region would cost millions of dollars and take several years to complete.

LiDAR mapping is also extremely resource-intensive. It requires pilots, expensive equipment, advanced software, and skilled technicians to capture the information and turn the point cloud data into something useful. What is more, LiDAR can quickly go out of date. If land use or land cover changes, then the information from the maps quickly becomes irrelevant.

LiDAR mapping is helping cartographers and specialists worldwide to create maps of the planet in unprecedented detail. When the data is accessible, it offers a compelling method for investigating what is happening on the ground and building 3D models.

But it’s not the only way of creating 3D models. At VIZZIO, we have developed an accurate and efficient methodology for automatically extracting footprints of buildings and vegetation based purely on satellite imagery, then using shadows to calculate height and depth of objects on the surface. You can use this information to rapidly build 3D models in a very short space of time without needing any additional equipment. Our solution provides the three dimensions provided by LiDAR maps, but at a far lower cost.

OUR SOLUTION

Our AI-driven, patent-protected large-scale 3D Reconstruction of buildings from stereo satellite images pipeline uses Deep Convolutional Network to extract contour polygons of buildings, and the combination of optimisation & computational geometry techniques to compute the Digital Terrain Model, a digital height model and to correctly estimate the position of the footprints. shadow & atmospheric cloud removal.
