Object Detection

Find and classify real-world assets in imagery, as map features.

The problem

Asset inventories go stale the moment they are finished. Field survey is slow and expensive, and the imagery that would answer the question — satellite, aerial, street-level — is usually already sitting on a server, unread.

How it works

Computer vision models detect and classify objects in imagery, then place each detection in real-world coordinates. Detections carry a class, a confidence, and a link back to the source frame, so anything uncertain can be reviewed instead of quietly trusted.

Inputs

  • Street-level and panoramic imagery
  • Aerial and satellite imagery
  • Drone captures
  • Existing asset inventory, if you have one

Outputs

  • Georeferenced detections as point or polygon features
  • Class, confidence, and source frame per detection
  • Inventory tables and coverage statistics
  • A review queue for low-confidence cases

Applications

  • Road and traffic sign inventory
  • Street furniture and urban asset mapping
  • Utility and network asset detection
  • Building and rooftop extraction
  • Road condition and marking surveys

In your GIS

Detections arrive as GIS features that can be compared against your existing inventory to produce a difference list: missing, moved, added.
