Map Earth’s vegetation in under 20 minutes with Amazon SageMaker
In this post, we demonstrate the power of SageMaker geospatial capabilities by mapping the world’s vegetation in under 20 minutes. This example not only highlights the efficiency of SageMaker, but also its impact how geospatial ML can be used to monitor the environment for sustainability and conservation purposes.
Monitoring Lake Mead drought using the new Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities
Earth’s changing climate poses an increased risk of drought due to global warming. Since 1880, the global temperature has increased 1.01 °C. Since 1993, sea levels have risen 102.5 millimeters. Since 2002, the land ice sheets in Antarctica have been losing mass at a rate of 151.0 billion metric tons per year. In 2022, the […]
Object Detection algorithm now available in Amazon SageMaker
Amazon SageMaker is a fully-managed and highly scalable machine learning (ML) platform that makes it easy build, train, and deploy machine learning models. This is a giant step towards the democratization of ML and in lowering the bar for entry in to the ML space for developers. Computer vision is the branch of machine learning […]
