GeoAI: spatially explicit artificial intelligence techniques for geographic knowledge discovery and beyond
Abstract
Recent progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, the large-scale availability of high-quality data, as well as advances in both hardware and software to efficiently process these data, are transforming a range of fields from computer vision and natural language processing to autonomous driving and healthcare. For example, the availability of high-resolution geographic data and high-performance computing techniques together with deep learning fuel progress in fast and accurate object detection. Recent examples of GeoAI work include the detections of terrain features and densely-distributed building footprints, information extraction from scanned historical maps, semantic classification (e.g. LiDAR point clouds), novel methods for spatial interpolation, and advances in traffic forecasting. Similarly, machine learning and natural language processing are facilitating the extraction of geographic information from unstructured (textual) data, such as news articles and Wikipedia as well as the matching of natural features in multiple gazetteers.
