Satclip - Encoding Location
In this episode, I'm joined by Konstantine Klemmer, a researcher at Microsoft, to dive deep into the fascinating world of GeoAI. Konstantine introduces us to Satclip, a cutting-edge model that encodes geographic locations based on satellite images.
We discuss how Satclip works, the data it uses, and its potential applications, particularly in low-resource settings and predictive modeling. Whether you're into AI, geography, or just curious about the intersection of these fields, this episode is packed with insights.
Key Takeaways:
What is Satclip?: Learn about Satclip's location encoding, a neural network that converts geographic coordinates into numerical representations based on satellite images.
Data and Training: Understand how Satclip is trained using Sentinel-2 satellite images and how it captures unique geographic features.
Applications: Discover how Satclip can be used in low-resource environments, such as on edge devices, and how it enhances other models by providing geographic context.
The Future of GeoAI: Explore the potential future directions for Satclip, including more detailed regional models and the integration of multiple data modalities.
