GeoAI with ArcGIS API for Python — Remote Sensing and Object Detection

Geographic Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) is an interdisciplinary field that combines deep learning models with spatial analysis processes to extract meaningful information from remote sensing data. The arcgis.learn module of ArcGIS API for Python has become an industry-standard toolkit in this domain.

In this article, we will explore advanced applications such as building detection from satellite imagery, land cover classification, and change analysis using model architectures like SingleShotDetector, RetinaNet, MaskRCNN, and UnetClassifier. We will build a production-ready GeoAI workflow from GPU/CUDA configuration to model performance metrics.
