Quantum3D has introduced AI-powered image super-scaling for satellite imagery, expanding its terrain development portfolio. The technology enhances existing satellite imagery by up to 4×, providing higher-detail visual content for simulation and training while reducing the cost of acquiring and processing native high-resolution satellite data, according to the company.
Fixed-wing aircraft simulations typically require 0.25 to 1.0-meter resolution around airports, while rotary-wing, eVTOL and UAV/UAS simulations often require high-resolution imagery across larger areas, increasing costs. Quantum3D’s tools scale satellite images up to 400%, analyzing visual patterns and terrain features to sharpen road and building edges and improve texture across vegetation, soil, sand and rock surfaces.
The company offers two AI scaling tools: as, and an OGC CDB Terrain Enhancer that upgrades existing OGC CDB format terrains, generating up to two additional levels of detail and effectively quadrupling resolution
The technology also enhances Quantum3D’s CDB background terrain offering, which includes 15-meter global imagery and 10-meter imagery for the Continental United States, providing enhanced imagery at a 3.75-meter scale worldwide and 2.5-meter scale for U.S. coverage.
“AI is changing the economics of simulation,” said Murat Kose, CEO of Quantum3D. “Instead of assuming that every square kilometer needs expensive native high-resolution imagery, we can use AI to extract more value from the imagery we already have. Our 4× image super-scaling technology gives customers a faster, more scalable way to build high-fidelity synthetic environments and digital twins for modeling, simulation, training, testing, and operational applications.”
