A Practical Guide to Applying Computer Vision Techniques to Geospatial Imagery

Deep learning and other computer vision techniques are revolutionizing the usage of imagery in application development. How well do these techniques transfer to geospatial imagery? Geospatial imagery is unique in its metadata and size compared to many of the traditional applications of these technologies. This talk describes the leading computer vision techniques and how they apply to geospatial imagery. Attendees will learn when these techniques can be used with geospatial imagery and the open source tools and standards can be used. Additionally, this talk covers which geospatial projects lend themselves to deep learning techniques and how to measure success.
