MESA is a novel generative model based on latent denoising diffusion capable of generating 2.5D representations (co-registered colour and depth maps) of terrains based on text prompt conditioning.

Work developed by Paul Borne–Pons ( @NewtNewt ) during his joint internship at
Adobe & ESA, and in collaboration with asterisk labs.
