A New Platform for Elevation Data: Advanced Algorithms partners with LAND INFO to bring a best-in-class Elevation Platform

Advanced Algorithms and LAND INFO Worldwide Mapping are launching a nationwide platform built for people who need convenient access to elevation data. Stream DSM, DTM, and nDSM across the Continental United States at 1m resolution — in the browser, through a WCS endpoint, or as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs — and run elevation profiles, line-of-sight, point measurements, and cut/fill volumetrics in seconds. Two years of development and over 1 million km² processed, now available on demand.

Processing LiDAR Data at Scale: Lessons from LiDAR Atlas

From re-processing Magellan SAR imagery of Venus on a 30-day Mac Pro run at JPL, to running 4,000-CPU LiDAR pipelines on Kubernetes — the hard-won lessons in data design, indexing, and validation that make geospatial processing work at scale, and why GPUs are the next frontier.
