By GeoConnexion - 7th May 2020 - 12:55

Earth observation company 4 Earth Intelligence (4EI) has launched a new land cover mapping service based on advanced machine learning. Created from satellite imagery the 4EI service can automatically provide large area base maps together with regular updates of land cover change. Offering a better understanding of changing landscape and vegetation patterns the 4EI Land Cover data also provides insight into the interaction between human activity and nature including improved understanding of the importance of green infrastructure – essential ingredients for solving urban and climatic challenges. Applications of 4EI’s Satellite Derived Land Cover data include the identification of habitats which could be vulnerable due to urban sprawl, understanding and demonstrating compliance with planning policies, creation of corporate mitigation strategies and evidence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives. 4EI has already worked with government and commercial organisations around the world to deliver base line maps and updates. www.4earthintelligence.com
