    Hivemapper

    In this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back Ariel Seidman, founder of HiveMapper. Ariel was my very first podcast guest back in 2019, and HiveMapper has come a long way since then! We explore how HiveMapper has evolved from a drone-based mapping system to a cutting-edge platform collecting street-level data at a global scale. Ariel shares the challenges of scaling large-scale mapping efforts, the pivot to building their own hardware, and the role of blockchain-based incentives in driving adoption. Here are just a few topics we cover: Why HiveMapper shifted focus from drones to street-level mapping. The power of combining hardware and software to solve mapping challenges. How HiveMapper has already mapped 28% of the global road network. The revolutionary edge computing and data filtering techniques driving efficiency. What it takes to compete with industry giants like Google Maps. Whether you're fascinated by the intersection of geospatial technology and innovation or looking for insights into scaling impactful startups, this episode is packed with value. Let me know your thoughts or hit reply if you’d like to discuss the episode!   https://beemaps.com/ Connect with Ariel here https://www.linkedin.com/in/aseidman/   PS I have just finished creating a web-based tool that lets you explore and download OpenStreetMap data, It is a bit different from other tools and I would appreciate some feedback.  https://mapscaping.com/openstreetmap-category-viewer/

    Satclip - Encoding Location

    In this episode, I'm joined by Konstantine Klemmer, a researcher at Microsoft, to dive deep into the fascinating world of GeoAI. Konstantine introduces us to Satclip, a cutting-edge model that encodes geographic locations based on satellite images. We discuss how Satclip works, the data it uses, and its potential applications, particularly in low-resource settings and predictive modeling. Whether you're into AI, geography, or just curious about the intersection of these fields, this episode is packed with insights. Key Takeaways: What is Satclip?: Learn about Satclip's location encoding, a neural network that converts geographic coordinates into numerical representations based on satellite images. Data and Training: Understand how Satclip is trained using Sentinel-2 satellite images and how it captures unique geographic features. Applications: Discover how Satclip can be used in low-resource environments, such as on edge devices, and how it enhances other models by providing geographic context. The Future of GeoAI: Explore the potential future directions for Satclip, including more detailed regional models and the integration of multiple data modalities. Connect with Konstantine https://www.linkedin.com/in/konstantinklemmer/ Try Satclip https://github.com/microsoft/satclip   Recommended Listening https://mapscaping.com/podcast/computer-vision-and-geoai/ https://mapscaping.com/podcast/planet-imaging-everything-every-day-almost/

    Natural Language Geocoding

    In this episode, I welcome Jason Gilman, a Principal Software Engineer at Element 84, to explore the exciting world of natural language geocoding. Key Topics Discussed: Introduction to Natural Language Geocoding: Jason explains the concept of natural language geocoding and its significance in converting textual descriptions of locations into precise geographical data. This involves using large language models to interpret a user's natural language input, such as "the coast of Florida south of Miami," and transform it into an accurate polygon that represents that specific area on a map. This process automates and simplifies how users interact with geospatial data, making it more accessible and user-friendly. The Evolution of AI and ML in Geospatial Work: Over the last six months, Jason has shifted focus to AI and machine learning, leveraging large language models to enhance geospatial data processing. Challenges and Solutions: Jason discusses the challenges of interpreting natural language descriptions and the solutions they've implemented, such as using JSON schemas and OpenStreetMap data. Applications and Use Cases: From finding specific datasets to processing geographical queries, the applications of natural language geocoding are vast. Jason shares some real-world examples and potential future uses. Future of Geospatial AIML: Jason touches on the broader implications of geospatial AI and ML, including the potential for natural language geoprocessing and its impact on scientific research and everyday applications. Interesting Insights: The use of large language models can simplify complex geospatial queries, making advanced geospatial analysis accessible to non-experts. Integration of AI and machine learning with traditional geospatial tools opens new avenues for research and application, from environmental monitoring to urban planning. Quotes: "Natural language geocoding is about turning a user's textual description of a place on Earth into a precise polygon." "The combination of vision models and large language models allows us to automate complex tasks that previously required manual effort."

    Semantic Search For Geospatial

    This podcast episode is all about semantic search and using embeddings to analyse text and social media data. Dominik Weckmüller, a researcher at the Technical University of Dresden, talks about his PhD research, where he looks at how to analyze text with geographic references.  He explains hyperloglog and embeddings, showing how these methods capture the meaning of text and can be used to search big databases without knowing the topics beforehand. Here are the main points discussed: Intro to Semantic Search and Hyperloglog: Looking at social media data by counting different users talking about specific topics in parks, while keeping privacy in mind. Embeddings and Deep Learning Models: Turning text into numerical vectors (embeddings) to understand its meaning, allowing for advanced searches. Application Examples: Using embeddings to search for things like emotions or activities in parks without needing predefined keywords. Creating and Using Embeddings: Tools like transformers.js let you make embeddings on your computer, making it easy to analyze text. Challenges and Innovations: Talking about how to explain the models, deal with long texts, and keep data private when using embeddings. Future Directions: The potential for using embeddings with different media (like images and videos) and languages, plus the ongoing research in this fast-moving field.
