Geospatial ML with Amazon SageMaker
Build, train, and deploy ML models faster using geospatial data
Up to 10 hours of free compute resources
for 60 days with the AWS Free Tier
Access readily available geospatial data sources, including satellite imagery, maps, and location data.
Efficiently transform or enrich large-scale geospatial datasets with open-source libraries or purpose-built operations such as mosaicking and reverse geocoding.
Accelerate model building by using built-in, pretrained deep neural network models such as land cover segmentation and cloud masking.
Analyze geospatial data and explore model predictions on an interactive map using 3D accelerated graphics with built-in visualization tools.
How it works
The diagram has six sections. The first section has an image representing data and is titled, “Geospatial ML with Amazon SageMaker.” In this step, you can build, train, and deploy ML models using geospatial data.
The second section has four small images representing data sources and is titled, “Access data sources.” In this step, you can access geospatial data sources, from satellite imagery to mapping and location data, or upload your proprietary data.
The third section has an image of a globe with a small gear overlaying it and is titled, “Transform and enrich data.” In this step, you can use built-in operations such as reverse geocoding, mosaicking, and data labeling to prepare your data.
The fourth section includes an image representing models, with a small computer arrow clicking on them, and is titled, “Select or train a model.” In this step, you can select state-of-the-art, purpose-built models or bring and train your own model.
The fifth section has an image of a rocket flying out of a box and is titled “Deploy a model.” In this step, you can deploy and host your model to make predictions using real-world data.
The sixth and final section includes an image of a magnifying glass over a map and is titled, “Visualize predictions.” In this step, you can explore and analyze model predictions on a map from your Amazon SageMaker Studio notebook
Use cases
