Conversations with the people creating maps, understanding how and why they build them. Earth Observation, Data Science, Business and how smart people combine them all to impact our world.
From how people build accessible maps online & how to make them more accessible to a wider number of people, to leveraging satellite imagery for journalism, through the business models Earth Observation satellite manufacturers are putting in place.
Exactly but too much money is made off the marketing of data science and they need python 🐍 and its garbage syntax to attract people Go and Rust are easily superior options for dev ops side, i refused to deploy python in our stack - take a stand! There are legitimate alternatives
@@pythonGIS i was and still am a big jupyter notebook fan-when I first picked it up I would use it for presentations of SQL snippets and use Python for little transformations of data; at that time I was writing them solo in a non data science environment (I was an ERP consultant teaching IT people how to manage custom tables/views). For that purpose it was fine, a pain to setup but fine once stable. Then I got a new job where there was some actual scale and iteration speed expected-wrangling in an AWS Glue implementation with Athena & S3 handoffs; the experience was shite. Python is so incredibly slow and inefficient (which matters when your implementation cost 4x more than the scala and sql devs are turning in). Luckily I found a Go package called “goNb” and another called “go+” that still let me utilize Jupyter notebooks without the Python implementation but ever since then I’ve understood the truth about Python. In a competitive environment where speed and efficiency matter-it’s literally the worst choice; even worse than pure Node implementations.
What GEOlayer does is unimaginable and incredible, for a simple map with a small zoom & Animation, before GEOlayer, you had to download the map for hours and days, stitch it together and get a result that may be not very good result and It wasn't fun, but with GEOlayer it's like going from hell to heaven, unimaginable! It's true that the price is high, but in my opinion it's a masterpiece, well done Mr. Markus. I always wanted to hear Markus, this complex brain that found these ways etc. , the importance of GEOlayer and its complexity is its behind-the-scenes connection with hundreds of sites and maps that with one click you can jump from Microsoft to another place and hundreds of options and options, had at his disposal. I didn't go to school, university, etc., but I learned motion graphics by myself. before GEOlayer I made many map and animated it just for fun! after I bought GEOlayer and learned , the only description is like going from hell to heaven. Perhaps the only flaw, or rather the lack, which of course does not go back to Markus, is the lack of open source educational material, which explains some of the complexities well. For example, Element 3D has a book or PDF that is very complete, you can find the answer to almost anything in it. But GEOlayer lacks it. Of course, GEOlayer's complexity cannot be compared with Element 3D, GEOlayer is like an airplane and Element 3D is like a truck. I wish you would link some of Marcos's work on the TV channel that works, here. we could see and learn about Markos in the position of motion designer, his ideas, his work style, choices, etc. Thanks for this interview, I stumbled upon the link and am excited to see, listen and learn more from Marcus. I hope you will add a link to Markus's work, or at least introduce the TV station where we can watch Markus's work, follow him, and definitely learn a lot. I follow the work of Johnny Harris and Boone Loves Video and others, but seeing Architect behind GEOlayer work is something else! Thank you !
Thank you for the detailed shownotes, which were very helpful. We can we download some sample 3D data to play with. I am very excited by the latest Pixstral Model and would love to see how it performs on 3D radar images. I might even set up a couple of LORAs using a bunch of Spot-The-Difference and Hidden Object exercises. Have you used similar techniques?
I'm not a fan of mass-deployment of satellites. For instance I think StarLink and the likes are an abomination. Orbital space is a scarce resource, and should be treated as such. Kind of like helium - every kid's helium balloon I see makes me sad, to waste a scarce resource on something short-sighted.
The renders really bothered me although I do realize they are just an 'artistic' representation. 1. The solar panels should face the sun. 2. The camera should face the earth. 3. The 'circle' would be impossible to maintain for a full orbit. 4. They are too close together, risking collisions.
Anyone else worried that this kind of technology is gonna Segway to total global surveillance? Or like the government is gonna buy him/ suicide him to get there? Just me? Ight
Great interview, I very much resonate with the idea of using local knowledge to fine tune smaller embedding model is the way to empower local communities to identify/track challenges
Hello sir. It's always great to watch your podcast and the value, information we get from your podcast is next level. I literally want to see Andrew Kramer on your podcast. Please sir invite him
Stealing code is like trying to sneak into a coding competition with cheat sheets-it's not only unethical, but it's also a shortcut that ultimately undermines one's own growth as a programmer.
brilliant to actually hear from the person/team behind geolayers. Marcus defo fly's below the radar, he should be all over RU-vid with the product he's created 😀
I did talk to Jason Boone a few months ago, who used to work with Johnny on some of his map animations: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TOPsRdJgBhc.html
If you want to understand more of the basics of SAR I also made a video about this no my other channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zMsCyEAOrh0.htmlsi=NYCE8ujsgE3PgW8_

Thanks for posting this interesting comparison. A fourth software option for Earth Observation multispectral imagery analysis is a new product I have developed called "ProRaster Scientific". I have posted a video of my own investigation into this flood event using this software. In doing so, I uncover a few interesting insights into the data and the process.

He is the biggest reference for me and this interview was amazing ❤
