I’m thinking about adding new features. Which one is more useful and should come next: searching with an image of an object, detecting changes over time using Sentinel-2 data, or detecting object in all Google Street View images within a selected area?

#22Tangent question, I know of services like Planet Labs, Maxar... is the capability there now assuming you had money, where you could tag a ship from space and watch it travel (I know there is something like ADSB for ships) but would be interesting.
Planet labs has a solution specifically for ships. https://www.planet.com/pulse/illuminate-the-dark-fleet-with-...
Dang, that is hard to do, 4 pixels of orange to work with

#25Interesting to see this change between uses (the bounding boxes are better than the heatmaps I saw the first time I tried it!)
The AI struggles a bit with less generic terms. It correctly realised Radcliffe Camera was a building, but tagged another building as well and guessed wrong for Balliol Library (I guess the models haven't seen it from above). On the other hand I was pleased it tagged narrowboats and didn't tag them as fish when I asked it to find fish on that tile...

Depends what you're going for. Change detection has a lot of established use cases but not sure whether LLM interfaces will add usability or remove accuracy; object detection in Google Street View images sounds cool and novel, but not sure what the actual use case is...

Searching with an image of an object 100%!! (Or just like, find similar areas from a sat crop/screenshot!
