MoGe-2 is a powerful tool for estimating 3D geometry from single images. It can create detailed point maps, depth maps, and normal maps with high precision. This model is especially useful because it can predict geometry in metric scale, meaning it provides accurate measurements. It also enhances visual sharpness, making it better than previous versions. Users benefit from MoGe-2 by getting precise 3D information from just one photo, which is helpful for applications like robotics or video games. It's fast and works well with different image sizes.

Grand #Ethiopian Renaissance Dam: how #Africa’s largest hydropower project Is powering #Ethiopia’s future
A detailed examination of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam – its construction, specifications, commissioning, regional impact, and remaining challenges.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (#GERD) is the largest hydropower project in Africa. Located on the #Blue_Nile in Ethiopia’s #Benishangul-Gumuz region, about 14km from the Sudanese border, the project has been delivered by Ethiopian Electric Power (#EEP) with major civil works undertaken by #Webuild Group (formerly #Salini Impregilo).
The objective of the dam is to increase Ethiopia’s electricity generation capacity, reduce dependence on imported energy, and support long-term industrial and economic development.
Construction began in 2011, and Ethiopia officially inaugurated......
