Abstract
Abstract. The CO3D mission, launched in July 2025, aims to reconstruct the Earth’s continental surfaces in 3D. Assessing the quality of the resulting digital surface model requires an inter elevation data comparison tool, leading CNES to collaborate with the GlacioHack collective and join the governance of their open-source software xDEM. Originally developed for glacier research, xDEM offered valuable features for 3D data analysis, including 3D coregistration and uncertainty analysis. Recognizing its potential, CNES strategically chose to contribute to xDEM rather than maintain its own tool, demcompare. The main contributions include improvements in scalability, visualization, and ease of use. This collaboration has created a more robust tool that benefits both the CO3D mission and the broader scientific community. By combining resources and expertise, the project demonstrates how open-source development can drive innovation while reducing duplication of effort.
Three dimensional (3D) geospatial data has been gaining increasing traction in recent years, with research identifying existing and potential applications that range from archaeology and architecture to work that underpins government level policies on housing, climate change and improved quality of life. Standards such...

Geoinformation systems (GIS) serve as a key driver for the digital transformation of Earth sciences, providing powerful tools for spatial data analysis and geomodel visualization. Effective use of GIS needs a systematic approach that encompasses procedure standardization, clear definition of application scenarios, and...
Abstract. This study presents an AI-based tool for the automatic generation and updating of 3D city models to support the expansion of Project PLATEAU in Japan. High-quality models at Level of Detail (LOD) 2 or higher are essential for applications such as urban planning and disaster management, but their production cu...
