A Brief Review of Recent Developments in the Integration of Deep Learning with GIS

Abstract

The interaction of Deep Learning (DL) methods with Geographical Information System (GIS) provides the opportunity to obtain new insights into environmental processes through the spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions as well as data integration. The two technologies may be connected to form a dynamic system that is incredibly well adapted to the evaluation of environmental conditions through the interrelationships of texture, size, pattern, and process. This perspective has acquired popularity in multiple disciplines. GIS is significantly dependant on processors, particularly for 3D calculations, map rendering, and route calculation whereas DL can process huge amounts of data. DL has received a lot of attention recently as a technology with a plethora of promising results. Furthermore, the growing use of DL methods in a variety of disciplines, including GIS, is evident. This study tries to provide a brief overview of the use of DL methods in GIS. This paper introduces the essential DL concepts relevant to GIS, the majority of which have been published in recent years. This research explores remote sensing applications and technologies in areas such as mapping, hydrological modelling, disaster management, and transportation route planning. Finally, conclusions on contemporary framework methodologies and suggestions for further studies are provided.

Human-Machine Synergy in Real Estate Similarity Concept

“…CNN models can be trained to detect characteristic features related to construction periods and utilize these features to classify buildings based on their age (construction time). -Autoencoder Networks -used in unsupervised learning where the model learns to best reconstruct memorized (Mohan & Giridhar, 2022). Among tasks such as dimensionality reduction and anomaly detection in datasets, one of their uses is data augmentation (when there is a scarcity of data for model training).…”

Spatial Analysis and Risk Evaluation for Port Crisis Management Using Integrated Soft Computing and GIS-Based Models: A Case Study of Jazan Port, Saudi Arabia

“…Soft computing encompasses computational methodologies inspired by human cognition, such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms, which excel in handling uncertainty, complexity, and imprecision inherent in real-world data and decision-making processes [22]. Coupled with a GIS, which provides powerful spatial data management and visualization capabilities, these techniques offer a comprehensive framework for assessing and mitigating port-related risks [23].…”

Combining Deep Learning and Multi-Source GIS Methods to Analyze Urban and Greening Changes

“…Moreover, in recent years, the combination of the great potential of DL algorithms, capable of classifying and segmenting thousands of RS images, and geographic information systems (GIS), has gained particular importance. Their integration aids in decision making for a variety of applications, including urban and territorial planning and management, sustainable natural resource management and detecting global change issues [50]. GIS and DL can constitute a single source able to provide very important information and enhance strategic decision making using historical data and maps.…”
