The Bridges in New York City

But recall Blackshark AI’s base premise included data set mostly from direct overhead satellite views to generate structures. There were clues to give relative height, but a bridge’s empty space underneath can’t be discerned by an overhead view. Notably, they do cross-check with oblique views, which is why you see a texture that looks like a sat photo view mapped onto the solid “wall” underneath the bridges, but that isn’t the same as teaching the AI that it’s not a solid wall.
