NASA Forms Association with IBM’s AI To Instigate Geospatial Model, Will Discover Climate Data.
In order to tackle Earth’s climate crisis, a new study will be formed with the help of a Geospatial Model. The NASA Space Agency has joined hands with Technology Giant IBM to conduct environmental research and analysis and transform satellite data into detailed maps. Know here more about this exciting exploration of Earth’s history and future.
NASA and IBM have announced a new project with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to create a framework for sustainable development. In May, the two major companies formed a partnership to collect geospatial data.
Earth’s climate is constantly changing and it is necessary to prepare and control them quickly before they become too dangerous. NASA, in collaboration with the International Business Machines Corporation, has developed a geospatial model to help identify areas important for fire, flood, and other landscape design.
What are Spatial Foundation Models?
Geospatial modeling, or GIS, is a specialized technique for detecting patterns in data related to maps or geospatial content. Spatial or geospatial information is captured based on location and population characteristics.
From the pattern of this phenomenon it can be seen where and where these events will occur in the future. It is a tool based on estimating and analyzing the material for a specific purpose. Also known as Big Blue, IBM has its own geospatial AI model called “watsonx”.
From where’. With this, the framework can be used and information necessary for business and other activities can be created. NASA plans to work with the company so it can complete a project to study the effects of climate change.
Watson What is AI?
IBM Watson is an advanced computer capable of answering complex questions very efficiently.
It was developed by the research team of IBM’s DeepQA project. The machine was named “Watson” after Thomas J. Watson, founder and first CEO of IBM.
This supercomputer has the ability to combine artificial intelligence and software to provide users with good information. It has a security foundation that contributes to the NASA Vision Science Data Program.
It will provide information that can mitigate flood effects, plan infrastructure, inform insurance and risk decisions, respond to disasters and protect the environment.
To improve the performance of the model, the researchers reduced the size of the satellite images to process the data in smaller chunks and use less GPU. Then train the model using 5,000+ GPU sets.
It will provide insight into the different weather conditions and help businesses understand the impact of agriculture on the local environment. The forecasting model and various projects for environmental development will be the basis for the global target.
