In plain words

Warsaw in Voxels is an interactive 3D map of central Warsaw rendered at one-meter resolution using data from OpenStreetMap, LiDAR scans, and city records. It allows users to explore the city's buildings, streets, and terrain in detailed three-dimensional form. The tool is designed for anyone interested in urban exploration, city planning visualization, or interactive geographic data.

    I've been working on this project for about 4 years. It began as terrain only because world wide elevation data was publicly available. I then added buildings from OpenStreetMap (crowd sourced) and more recently from Overture Maps data. Some computer vision/machine learning advancements [1] in the past few years have made it possible to estimate tree canopy heights using satellite imagery alone making it possible to finally add trees to the map. The data isn't perfect, but it's within +/- 3 meters of so. Good enough to give a general idea for any location on Earth. Happy to answer…

    Maps and Splats – Mashup of 3D tile maps with Gaussian Splats2024 · maps-and-splats.glitch.me · ▲87

    Hello HN! I’m excited to share this open-source community mashup showing the power and possibility of combining 3D Gaussian splat scans with traditional mesh-based 3D tiles maps in the browser. As you've probably seen on HN a bunch lately, Gaussian splats are a new method to allow custom 3D scans of scenes and objects [1] and Google Maps 3D Tiles API are the same 3D buildings and street views your familiar with in Google Earth or Google Maps, and recently they’ve been made available for inclusion in web apps. Combining splats + 3d map mixes highly detailed real-world custom micro-scans with…
