BrightEarth enables users around the globe to extract and download high-quality geospatial data instantly from satellite imagery. “Esri’s innovative technology allows us to provide more realistic building polygons to BrightEarth customers,” said Albéric Maumy, chief executive officer, LuxCarta. “Everyone is looking for the most accurate models possible and we’re happy with what ArcGIS CityEngine® allows us to deliver.” BrightEarth leverages LuxCarta’s proprietary AI-driven technologies, which are already recognized for producing top-tier geospatial map layers. Utilizing high-definition satellite imagery and used daily by LuxCarta’s production teams, this advanced platform automates the generation of buildings, trees, road networks and walls as vector GIS data. It also produces high-definition land use/land cover (LULC) layers and coherent digital terrain models (DTMs) as raster GIS data. By integrating with real-time satellite catalogues and archives from leading global earth observation (EO) vendors, BrightEarth ensures access to the best high-resolution imagery available on the market, enhanced by intelligent search tools. Users can also extract items from their own uploaded sub-meter imagery. LuxCarta has partnered with Esri to incorporate its cutting-edge ArcGIS CityEngine technology into the BrightEarth platform. BrightEarth on Demand utilizes this technology, operating through a universal set of high-quality procedural and heuristic rules, to bring state-of-the-art procedural reconstruction tools to users, enabling the precise creation of synthetic environments or “augmented buildings.” The integration benefits from over two decades of international expertise in procedural generation of synthetic environments. "BrightEarth showcases the power of our CityEngine technology, deploying a solution that works seamlessly across the globe for procedural generation,” said Gaëtan Lavenu, technical communication manager, Esri France. “Its finely tuned customization for every region on the planet, combined with effortless execution, makes CityEngine the ultimate showcase of our cutting-edge innovation. Esri is pleased to see this technology expand the availability of geospatial data on demand via BrightEarth.” BrightEarth on Demand, including the augmented building facades and rooftops enabled by ArcGIS CityEngine, is now available for use at BrightEarth.ai.   **About BrightEarth** BrightEarth is LuxCarta’s platform that utilizes AI-enhanced production techniques to generate high-resolution geospatial data including 3D buildings and vegetation, as well as roads, 18-class land use/land cover (LULC) and digital terrain models (DTM) from a variety of imagery sources. BrightEarth products are made available through a cloud version “On Demand,” a software version for use on private networks “On Premises” as well as directly from LuxCarta “Production Services.” These innovative products – based on more than 30 years of geospatial and remote sensing expertise – are ready for immediate download in a variety of standardized OGC data formats. **About ArcGIS CityEngine** ArcGIS CityEngine is an advanced 3D modeling software that enables the creation of vast, interactive, and immersive urban environments faster than traditional modeling techniques. Cities created with ArcGIS CityEngine can be based on real geographic information system (GIS) data or represent a fictional city from the past, present, or future. **About LuxCarta** LuxCarta is a global leader in digital mapping and 3D geodata production, specializing in AI-driven 3D and high-resolution geodata solutions for industries such as telecommunications, simulation & training and environmental management. Established in 1989 and headquartered in Sophia Antipolis, France, LuxCarta provides geospatial products tailored for applications requiring precise and up-to-date mapping data, including 3D buildings, vegetation, land use and terrain analysis.
