Google is rolling out sharper satellite images for its Maps and Earth feature. The company confirmed the news yesterday about how it will make the most of the Cloud Score+ AI Model that identifies and removes haze, clouds, shadows, and mist. This can be done without getting rid of real-time weather patterns such as ice, mountain shadows, and snow.
The end result will feature a more vibrant image that is not only clear in terms of vision but also more accurate in terms of the Earth. Certain examples were shown by the tech giant including the great Toshka Lakes of Egypt whose image from Cloud Score+ was greatly enhanced and clear on display.
In other news, the Android maker confirmed today that it’s launching a major update to its Street View with new pictures in close to 80 different nations. This includes those who never had the feature before like Namibia, Paraguay, and Bosnia.
There are also going to be more images expanded to different regions like Argentina, Denmark, France, Spain, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Philippines, Uruguay, and Serbia amongst others.
Last but not least, Google Earth will also be getting innovative historical imagery that spans eight decades on both the Internet and mobile devices. Common examples include black-and-white images of historical landmarks from all over the world. These images were taken decades ago and provide a new way to see history through Google’s modern eyes.
The images will be contrasted from the past to what they appear like today such as age-old shipping ports and airports. If you ask us, this sounds like an absolute treat for history fans. What do you think?
