Researchers have introduced MetaEarth3D, a novel generative foundation model designed to create 3D scenes at a planetary scale, addressing a limitation in current AI models that are confined to smaller environments. This model can generate multi-level, unbounded, and diverse 3D scenes, from large terrains to city blocks, utilizing 10 million real-world images. MetaEarth3D aims to advance ultra-wide-area spatial intelligence for applications like Earth observation and simulation by incorporating spatial scale as a key dimension for generative AI. AI
