Strategic Buy-In For FOSS4G

2023/10/04

Embracing Open-Source Geospatial Technology is easy as an individual but what if you want your organization to use FOSS4G How do you get strategic buy-in? It turns out that the software does not sell itself and that even in the age of AI we still have to convince a human if we want organizational change to to happen. I think the temptation is to say hey look at this long list of specifications and notice how FOSS4G is often better or equal to the close source equivalent. Or hey look at the price

100 billion Points Every Day 100 billion is a very large number, let's say that I gave you a spreadsheet with 100 billion rows in it, each row consisted of five columns Latitude, Longitude, Device ID, A Timestamp, and a column telling the name of the data provider What would you do with that? How would you clean it? Make sense of it? Extract value from it? What would people use it for? And how would you do this in a way that could be systematized?

Computer vision is everywhere! But teaching an algorithm to identify objects requires a lot of data and this is definitely the case when we think about GeoAI But it is not enough to have a lot of data we also need data that is labeled If we are looking for cars in images we need a lot of images of cars and we need to know which pixels are the car! Of course, I am oversimplifying but I hope you get the idea, Now imagine that you can automatically generate a large labeled data set of realistic

Rapid is a free open-source web-based editor for an OpenStreetMap. In the past the focus was on conflating AI-generated datasets with OpenStreetMap data but the future for this editor is conflating authoritative datasets with OpenStreetMap. Humans are in the loop, people reviewing data authoritative datasets and adding them to OpenStreetMap with a few clicks! So you might be wondering, what is Authoritative data? And perhaps it doesn’t even matter what authoritative means maybe the most important

Using Lasers To Talk To Satellites

2023/06/14

How do we get data from a satellite down to Earth? How do we task a satellite? Today the answer is likely to be via radios and a system of downlink sites or ground stations. As the satellites pass overhead or within “line of sight” data can be sent via radio from the satellite to the receiver on the ground. If you don’t want to wait until the satellite can see the ground station, you can send your data to a geostationary satellite that can always see a ground station and let it send the data back

2023/06/07

There is a general understanding that it is becoming increasingly difficult to extract meaning from all the data we are collecting without using AI. But what is AI, and how did we end up in a situation where it is identifying wolves from dogs based on the presence of snow in the background of images? What does this mean for spatial analysis using tabular data? What is explainability? This is not a "how-to" do spatial analysis using an AI episode, it is an overview of AI in spatial
