When it comes to Rwanda, many of us immediately think of "learning from China."

Recently, remote sensing large models and geospatial foundation models have attracted widespread attention.

ArcGIS Pro 3.7 has been out for quite a while now.

On July 30, Google integrated the image generation model Nano Banana 2 into the web version of Google Earth, allowing users to use conversational prompts to "transform" real locations based on actual satellite, aerial, and 3D imagery.

Recently, the European Union passed a resolution to delay the public release of data from the Copernicus programme’s Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites covering a small area of the Gulf of Oman by 24 hours.
