Use Case

Client Challenge

A government agency involved in urban planning and environmental conservation needed to process and analyze large volumes of geospatial data from satellite imagery and LiDAR scans. The goal was to create accurate land-use maps, monitor environmental changes, and plan infrastructure projects. The challenge lay in efficiently annotating complex geospatial data to identify features such as buildings, roads, forests, and water bodies across large geographic areas.

Business Value

With Objectways’ geospatial data annotation and analysis capabilities, the client was able to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of their urban planning and environmental monitoring efforts. The AI-powered annotation system reduced manual labor by 60%, speeding up the production of land-use maps and environmental reports. The government agency could make more informed decisions on infrastructure development and environmental conservation based on accurate, up-to-date data.

Land Use Classification

Use Case

Annotating satellite or aerial imagery of land use types (e.g., urban, agricultural, forest).

Purpose

Train models that can automatically classify and monitor land use changes over time.

Infrastructure Detection

Use Case

Labeling images with buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

Purpose

Train models that detect infrastructure, generate urban maps/diagrams, and more.

Environmental Monitoring

Use Case

Annotating data related to natural features such as water bodies, vegetation, and more.

Purpose

Track environmental changes, assess natural resources, and support conservation efforts.

Disaster Response

Use Case

Labeling images of natural disasters (e.g., floods, wildfires, earthquakes).

Purpose

Detect disasters and aid in response planning and damage assessment.

Agricultural Monitoring

Use Case

Annotating images with crop types, health status, and growth stages.

Purpose

Enhance precise agriculture by monitoring crop health and predicting yields.
