ML for Understanding Satellite Imagery at Scale with Kyle Story - TWiML Talk #173
Today we’re joined by Kyle Story, computer vision engineer at Descartes Labs. Kyle and I caught up after his recent talk at the Google Cloud Next Conference titled “How Computers See the Earth: A Machine Learning Approach to Understanding Satellite Imagery at Scale.” We discuss some of the interesting computer vision problems he’s worked on at Descartes, and the key challenges they’ve had to overcome in scaling them.

Generating Ground-Level Images From Overhead Imagery Using GANs with Yi Zhu - TWiML Talk #172
Today we’re joined by Yi Zhu, a PhD candidate at UC Merced focused on geospatial image analysis. In our conversation, Yi and I take a look at his recent paper “What Is It Like Down There? Generating Dense Ground-Level Views and Image Features From Overhead Imagery Using Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks.” We discuss the goal of this research and how he uses conditional GANs to generate artificial ground-level images.

Learning Semantically Meaningful and Actionable Representations with Ashutosh Saxena - TWiML Talk #170
In this episode i'm joined by Ashutosh Saxena, a veteran of Andrew Ng’s Stanford Machine Learning Group, and co-founder and CEO of Caspar.ai. Ashutosh and I discuss his RoboBrain project, a computational system that creates semantically meaningful and actionable representations of the objects, actions and observations that a robot experiences in its environment, and allows these to be shared and queried by other robots to learn new actions.
