AI and Deep Learning: What is there for Geospatial Industry?

Over the years, Deep Learning has become the most popular approach to developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) – machines that perceive and understand the world. It empowers geospatial ecosystem by providing real-time near-human level perception; integrates into analytical workflows and driving data exploration and visualisation – automating the entire process of creating scalable insights from large amounts of data. Such machines will be able to'understand' geospatial information themselves and with deep learning, able to self-obtain geospatial information from their surroundings as per required to do their jobs, processing it in real time. This is truly an extraordinary time. AI and Deep Learning have been applied to a vast range of industries, from healthcare, to finance, advertising and retail, to manufacturing and transport.
