Once in flight, the key was accuracy and safety. These aspects were successfully handled by the ...

La géo-information continue sa mutation vers la représentation du monde en 3D avec une qualité et une ampleur croissantes. Grâce à des vecteurs nouveaux ou toujours plus performants d’Observation de la Terre (terrestres, aériens ou spatiaux), des capacités de calcul exponentielles, des techniques variées et complémentaires (optiques, radar, laser), la modélisation 3D du monde qui nous entoure est toujours plus détaillée. La création de jumeaux numériques urbains afin de maîtriser ...
