GIS Day 2023

‘Everything occurs somewhere and at some point in time’, from the big bang about 13.8 billion years ago to the movement of a single electron around a single atom somewhere inside our body, and everything in between.   The obvious truism of the statement represents the fundamental basis for the importance of geospatial information and technologies such as GIS both in our daily lives, and for our future here on earth.  Location and temporal information are being created everywhere all […]

Eurogi Webinar: Mapping road damage using AI

Wednesday, November 22, 2023, at 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM CET To monitor the condition of the road surface, a mapping of its existing condition should ideally be carried out on a regular basis to detect any damage and determine its extent.However, performing a visual interpretation is a subjective and labour-intensive process. This also complicates periodic, comparable monitoring of the road surface condition. A more efficient solution involves applying object detection, a form of Artificial Intelligence, to mobile mapping data. After detection, the damages are georeferenced and geospatially joined to track them […]
