Abstract:
Geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI), an interdisciplinary field, merges geographic knowledge with AI techniques to address significant scientific and engineering challenges in human-environmental systems. It focuses on enhancing machines' spatial intelligence to improve dynamic perception, intelligent reasoning, and knowledge discovery of geographic phenomena. This presentation will introduce the historical roots of GeoAI, spatially explicit AI models and recent innovative GeoAI research and applications.
