What is Geospatial Artificial Intelligence?

About Geospatial Artificial Intelligence

 

• It is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) fused with geospatial data, science, and technology.
• It is used to accelerate real-world understanding of business opportunities, environmental impacts, and operational risks.
• It is transforming the speed at which we extract meaning from complex datasets, thereby aiding us in addressing the earth’s most pressing challenges.
• How does it work?
  • With the help of simple smartphone applications, people can give real-time feedback about the conditions in their surroundings, for example, traffic congestion, the details of it, the peak hours, their experience of it, their rating: low, moderate, or dense.
  • The data is then collated, sorted, analyzed and it enhances its accuracy and precision because of thousands of users contributing to the database.

 

Why is GeoAI important?

• Improve data quality, consistency, and accuracy: Streamline manual data generation workflows by using the power of automation to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
• Accelerate the time to situational awareness: Monitor and analyze events, assets, and entities from sensors and sources such as video to enable quicker response times and proactive decisions.
• Bring location intelligence to decision-making: Make data-driven decisions with real-world awareness. Improve business outcomes with insight from spatial patterns and accurate predictions.

 

What is random forest technology?

• It is a commonly-used machine learning algorithm which combines the output of multiple data to arrive at a result.
• Researchers use historical data collected from various air quality monitoring stations in a city and apply the random forest algorithm to predict the Air Quality Index.
