Building a queryable Earth with vision-language foundation models
We take a close look at two such remarkable VLMs that have come out in the past few months and, using these models, we build a prototype “queryable Earth” functionality that allows retrieving images along with their geolocations using text queries over a large geographical area.
Using GDAL with EMR-serverless for large-scale data processing
In this blog, we discuss the history of modern big data and outline how we use GDAL-EMR-serverless for large-scale data processing.
