BrightEarth On Demand 3.1: An Unparalleled Completness

BrightEarth On Demand keeps evolving and in particular the platform continues to improve its accuracy. Improved building detection, enhanced data fusion to take advantage of complex OpenStreetMap (OSM) structures and increased accuracy in deriving round objects is the just the start. 

Improved Building Detection

Building extraction is the heart of BrightEarth technology, and with this version we're pushing the boundaries of this discipline by offering an evolution from a proprietary architecture. The vectorization pipeline has also been improved to further enhance image fidelity.

Before/Now: Improved accuracy and completeness in feature extraction using BrightEarth 3.1

Data Fusion Pipeline

Sometimes AI building detection isn't perfect, especially on complex buildings. To address it, we’ve implemented a data fusion pipeline that cross-references results with OpenStreetMap (OSM) to validate and enhance the completeness of automatic extractions.

The result is a very complete picture that ensures almost complete coverage of the buildings. We keep track of the original source via a new x,y source attribute.

Before/Now : Building coverage improved through data fusion with OpenStreetMap (OSM) 

Precise detection of tanks and silos for 3D realism

BrightEarth now includes intelligent detection of circular objects such as tanks, silos, reservoirs and tankers.

These structures are now reconstructed as precise circular polygons, significantly enhancing 3D data realism—especially in industrial and energy sector mapping.

API Versioning for Developers

BrightEarth now includes version-controlled APIs, giving development teams a more stable and future-proof way to integrate the platform into their custom workflows.

This allows for better lifecycle management of geospatial data applications.

Smoother, faster workflows with a redesigned UI

A more intuitive and streamlined user interface improves platform usability.

Whether you're launching extractions, managing data layers, or reviewing results, every step is faster and more efficient—supporting better productivity in large-scale mapping projects.

Coming Soon

Here’s what the team is working on next:

• Streamed imagery preview before launching extractions

• Downloadable satellite imagery

• Super-resolution capabilities

• Enhanced road reconstruction algorithms

Stay tuned—these features are currently in testing.
