The applications of GeoAI are as wide and diverse as our imaginations. Many applications like remote sensing, image classification and object detection using computer vision, improve visual clarity and allow higher zoom levels using super-resolution networks, extract geospatial information from unstructured data using natural language processing, deep learning application for large 3D geospatial datasets etc. and have shown positive trends in GeoAI.With the increasing focus on damage p...
