TerraPulse: a global LiDAR archaeology platform inspired by 48-agent jungle scan of 1,200 km²
RichardsonDx · x · 2026-11-12
Inspired by Pietro Miotti's experiment using 48 AI agents and NASA LiDAR data to scan over 1,200 km² of jungle for archaeological structures, the author built TerraPulse LiDAR — a global geospatial exploration platform.
It combines Google Maps, NASA LiDAR datasets, satellite imagery and terrain analysis to discover potential archaeological sites, assess existing survey coverage, and prioritize new LiDAR missions. Built with Google AI Studio and Google Maps Platform.
