The MapScaping Podcast - GIS, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, earth observation and digital geography

Getting Your Dream Job in Earth Observation

This is Eric Jensen's story about how he moved from academia to the private sector.

This story involves informational interviews, social media, networking, a personal website, professional podcasts, and a fancy CV template ... but it all started with the understanding that it was time to move on.

Fake Satellite Imagery

Well if the title does not grab your attention then this episode is not for you!

This episode is all about using AI to generate satellite imagery using generative adversarial networks ( GANs ).

That might sound scary if you have not used to working with AI but Ron Hagensieker does a brilliant job of walking us through the concept and the process.

Ron is the founder and CEO of OSIR.IO and you can reach out to him here: ron@osir.io

Urban Grammar- Form, Function, Culture and Satellite Imagery

What if we could classify landscapes based on Form and Function? Could we use those classifications to train a model to recognize Form and Function ( Culture ) in satellite imagery?
