The LIVE 3D Digital Twin for the GCC
ASPEED’s unique and patented image stitching algorithm, integrated on-chip, generates high-quality panoramic images in under 10ms. Besides, VIZZIO create 3D models of cities from aerial to indoor views using 2D satellite images and a patented deep learning AI pipeline, without the need for drones or complex surveying methods. We can model any city worldwide anytime, anywhere. We create real-time LIVE 3D digital twins of any physical place by combining ASPEED’s and VIZZIO’s special technologies.
The integration of these fusion technologies will lead to numerous innovative applications. The application of these technologies can also enhance the efficiency of government services through the provision of accurate information and faster service delivery. For instance, the government will have a comprehensive 3D models of all cities, enabling them to protect citizens more effectively. The affordability of these technologies will facilitate greater accessibility to immersive experiences of the cultures of GCC countries for a larger global audience, and enhance remote education by delivering a more interactive and superior learning experience compared to in-person education. Furthermore, the use of live and immersive real estate tours will provide busy, high net-worth global buyers with the ability to view properties and make informed bids in a streamlined and efficient manner.

JON is best known for his work in 3D computer vision and automatic 3D reconstruction from imagery and videos and has developed an AI software pipeline to automatically turn 2D photographs and satellite imagery into 3D geometry. JON has also filed numerous patents for large-scale 3D Reconstruction of buildings from stereo satellite images pipeline using Deep Convolutional Network to extract contour polygons of buildings, and the combination of optimisation & computational geometry techniques to compute the Digital Terrain Model, a digital height model and to correctly estimate the position of the footprints. shadow & atmospheric cloud removal.
Other noteworthy projects he has worked on are real-time 3D scene rendering and visualisation pipeline; 3D reconstruction of cities from consumer grade cameras, satellite imagery, camera-based self-driving cars and a vision-based 3D positioning and tracking system. Most recently his academic research has focused on combining 3D scene reconstruction with semantic scene understanding via Deep Learning.
Company Profile
VIZZIO is a leading 3D EARTH & SPACE TECHNOLOGY Company based in Singapore, with clients regionally and globally. Vizzio has mapped 89 3D earth cities, covering more than 29.4 million square kilometers of land area.
VIZZIO’s planetary-scale “3D-Mapping” ability turns current satellite, aerial and geospatial data into a semantic, machine-readable database and photorealistic synthetic 3D WGS84 georeferenced environments for simulation, visualization, and wider industrial and enterprise applications. Our deep learning algorithms pre-process satellite imagery and other geospatial data sources and create 3D models out of flat satellite images, combining real-time ray-tracing and advanced graphics rendering engine to create a photorealistic 3-D world.
Our AI-based real-time 3D reconstruction approach solves global pose alignment and obtains dense volumetric reconstructions from 2D satellite images at a level of quality and completeness that was previously only attainable with human intervention and expensive photogrammetry methods. Previously, city modeling and reality capture relied on manual, labor-intensive processes – spanning months or even years. We can now create detailed geo-specific, accurate, high-resolution 3D geographic models and terrains of cities in just a fraction of the time needed.
Vizzio has been spearheading the adoption of dimensionally accurate and immersive 3D capture and visualisations for Singapore’s leading government agencies and companies including Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF), Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), National University of Singapore (NUS) and SMRT Corporation (SMRT) as well as Singapore based companies such as CapitaLand, SATS, StarHub, DP Architects, Singapore Police, Saudi Government, Hong Kong Police, among others.
