Inference Overlay

Trees detected with Inference Overlay.

The AI Inference Overlay is a Grid Overlay which can spatially identify features using one or more Prequel Grids. Features are identified using a Convolution Neural Network. This neural network takes a subsection (window) of the input grid and either classifies or detects one or more objects in that window. The window of detection marches over the input grid with a configurable stride.

Using a Satellite Overlay of 0.1m detail, foliage features can be identified using an Inference Overlay and enhanced with a DTM, DSM, Combo Overlay to combine these and an optional iterative Max Overlay. For more information, see this how-to.
