Episode notes

I applaud you for digging in and not too early where it was only a research topic, but as it started getting into practical applications. I think because we try to follow the literature, but we are constantly falling behind. It's extremely difficult every week. Even constructing and completing the puzzle and installing all the frameworks and putting everything into work can be very complex. We have a big advantage working with the S3 technology. They have a team research and development team based in India. And these people are doing a great job facilitating the application of that.

Your feed might be dominated by LLMs these days, but there are some amazing things happening in computer vision that you shouldn’t ignore! In this episode, we bring you one of those amazing stories from Gabriel Ortiz, who is working with the government of Cantabria in Spain to automate cartography and apply AI to geospatial analysis. We hear about how AI tooling fits into the GIS workflow, and Gabriel shares some of his recent work (including work that can identify individual people, invasive plant species, building and more from aerial survey data).
