With the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) being one of the largest providers of geospatial information (including satellite imagery) in the world, this initiative has significant potential for making their huge library of data more available, interoperable, discoverable and analysis ready for a wide variety of applications around the world to academic, commercial, governmental and organizational stakeholders for disaster prevention, response and recovery as well as for humanitarian, military, economic and research activities.
During the The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot 2024, we at the Federal Geographic Data Committee (USGS) have been working with NGA and Voyager Search to develop these AI/ML capabilities for improving the standardization, integrity, completeness and governance of geospatial data through refining, enriching, curating, cataloging, semantic tagging/labeling and consolidating such data from open sources around the world. This highlights the importance of NGA's open data efforts through transforming its raw geospatial and non geospatial information into easily accessible insights that foster collaboration and enhance decision-making in helping solve some of our worlds greatest challenges. But there's still much more work to be done...
#ICYMI NGA has released a major request for proposals for an #AI data labeling effort with a ceiling of more than $700 million. 🖥️ 🖥️
This will help us categorize and label #geospatial intelligence data, such as satellite imagery, to scale our artificial intelligence and capabilities, like NGA Maven. Learn more 📰 ➡️ https://bit.ly/3zRLuFr
