Aerial Imagery: The State Of The Art

Aerial Imagery: The State Of The Art

Author: MapScaping February 1, 2023 Duration: 52:07
Personally, I don't feel like aerial imagery gets the attention it deserves! So I invited Michael Bewley - Senior Director of AI Systems at Nearmap back on the podcast to help bring us up to speed on the state of the art of capturing, processing, and building a business around aerial imagery. If you don’t care about aerial imagery, think of this as a story about turning unstructured data into structured data into insights and building a business around that.   You can connect with Micheal on Twitter and LinkedIn https://twitter.com/michaelbewley https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbewley/   Listen out for the following highlights It's not a camera it's an imaging system! Detecting change is not hard, detecting meaningful change is hard Are human abilities still a good benchmark for AI systems?  How to determine if an AI system is a prototype or production ready   Previous Interview with Michael Bewley https://mapscaping.com/podcast/collecting-and-processing-aerial-imagery-at-scale/   Stratospheric Balloons As Remote Sensing Platforms https://mapscaping.com/podcast/cube-satellites-of-the-stratosphere/  

The MapScaping Podcast delves into the intricate world where geography meets data. This isn't about static paper maps, but the dynamic, digital systems that help us understand our planet. Each conversation focuses on the practical and the visionary within GIS, geospatial technology, remote sensing, and earth observation. You'll hear directly from the cartographers, data scientists, software developers, and analysts who are building the tools and interpreting the information that defines modern digital geography. The discussions explore how satellite imagery is used, how location intelligence solves complex problems, and where the technology is headed next. For professionals, students, or anyone fascinated by how we chart and comprehend our world, this podcast offers a grounded look at a field that is constantly redrawing its own boundaries. Tune in to The MapScaping Podcast for insights that are as much about the people and ideas shaping this space as they are about the technology itself. It's a consistent source for those who think spatially, providing depth and context that goes beyond the software interface. Listen to find out how the hidden structures of geospatial data influence everything from urban planning and environmental conservation to business logistics and everyday apps.
