Geospatial Annotation Services
Geospatial Annotation Services are carried out on geospatial 2D images, aerial images, and map images using different annotation techniques to create accurate training datasets for geospatial AI models.
What Is Geospatial Annotation Services?
Geospatial annotation Services are the process of annotating satellite or drone imagery. It involves annotating natural and artificial geographical features such as dams, roads, buildings, forests, and land use to create a map of the area’s geography captured in the image. Annotated geospatial data finds uses in several industries, including timber, mining, transportation, and defense.
Different Types Of Geospatial Annotation Techniques
Polygon Annotation
Polygon annotation is a precise method of annotating an object along its edges. It involves plotting x and y points along the edges of the annotation object and connecting all the points with a continuous line. For remote sensing technologies, this annotation technique creates training data for AI models to understand the contours of physical features such as rivers and roads.
Polyline Annotation
It involves drawing continuous lines on the object of interest in an image. Polyline Annotations are often used to mark road lanes, sidewalks, and powerlines to help autonomous cars navigate. In geospatial annotation they can be used for aerial view annotations of objects such as roads, powerlines, and rivers needed by computer vision models in drones.
Semantic Annotation
Semantic segmentation involves annotating all instances of an object in an image at the pixel level and assigning them predefined categories. Its high precision and ability to discern objects at the pixel level are useful in training computer vision models for remote sensing systems that accurately detect and differentiate objects in satellite and drone imagery.
Point Of Interest Tagging
Point of interest tagging involves placing points on specific areas or objects of interest in the geospatial image. The points can then be used to extract useful information about the object or region of interest, including the attributes, variation, and behavioral patterns. This image annotation service technique can train AI models to monitor illegal deforestation or encroachment of water bodies.
Image Classification
Image classification in geospatial annotation involves assigning image pixels a class coinciding with the land cover. It is a common technique used in remote sensing technologies. Different pixels in an image are labeled and categorized to distinguish between different land usage, such as water bodies, forests, buildings, etc.
Point Annotation
Point annotation is a technique that involves placing points at specific areas in an object of interest. The technique is useful in training artificial intelligence models to identify the position of the area of interest. Geospatial annotation can accurately detect specific features on objects such as chimneys and solar panels on rooftops.
Geospatial Annotation Services For Drone, Satellite & Aerial View Imagery
Geospatial annotations help create 3D geographic models useful in training geospatial machine learning models. Once annotated, the geospatial data acquired from different sources, including satellites or drone imagery, becomes a powerful data visualization tool that can be used to make better and more informed decisions.
