VirtuGhan is a Virtual Computation Cube designed for efficient on-the-fly tile computation of Earth Observation Data, similar to Google Earth Engine but utilizing open-source tools. It enables on-the-fly calculations on tiles on satellite images at various zoom levels using Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs) & rio-tiler. The project focuses efficient computation rather than storage, allowing direct analysis of images without needing to store the entire dataset. This approach enhances the accessibility and processing of large geospatial datasets. In this talk we will go through the current state of art on COG for the EO datasets , their capabilities , advatages of having on the fly tile computation on various zoom level and advantages of doing calculations on the tile.

fAIr is an open AI-assisted mapping service developed by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) that aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of mapping efforts for humanitarian purposes. The service uses AI models, specifically computer vision techniques, to detect objects in satellite and UAV imagery.

Join us in these 2x 1 hour sessions (option1 in the morning and option 2 in the afternoon) to get hands-on experience using the Field Tasking Manager ( https://fmtm.hotosm.org ). We will use the imagery collected during the community drone mapping workshop on Tuesday 15 July !
You will get to collaborate with people in this fun and engaging session. You will be introduced to the Field-Tasking Manager and how to use it on your phone (first 10mins in the conference room), then you go and start the data collection process outside in the conference venue. We will give you directions on where to go. At the end of this session you will have an idea of how you can contribute as a mapper or potentially set up a project using the Field Tasking Manager.
