Connected does not mean independently measured.
Spatial datasets encompass a variety of formats, including vector data (points, lines, polygons), raster imagery, and derived 3D structures like photogrammetric point clouds and meshes. While these structures are reconstructed from imagery, they are not independent survey ground truth. Camera files can contain observations, calibration or reconstructed poses; inspect the actual fields and metadata to understand the data's limitations.
Local context for Malawian spatial datasets.
The current catalog primarily features aerially captured scene data (drone and UAV imagery) focused on Malawian landscapes, including agricultural estates, urban developments, and land administration areas. These datasets are derived from local flights and are not a promise of indoor coverage, global satellite precision, or simulator-ready assets. Users should account for local atmospheric conditions and typical equatorial lighting when interpreting these derived structures.
The scene is the starting point.
Open the views, inspect the file types and read the capture limitations.
