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.

Foliage Example

Animation of inference with a moving window and Bounding Box detection.

Using a Satellite Overlay of 0.1m detail, foliage features can be identified using an Inference Overlay and enhanced with a Digital Terrain Model Overlay (DTM), a WCS Overlay representing the DSM, Combo Overlay to combine these and an optionally an iterative Max Overlay to enhance the foliage height. For more information, see this how-to.
