Jakarta, INTI - Two artificial intelligence (AI) and satellite data-based technology platforms were introduced at the "Training and Youth Forum on Artificial Intelligence and Spatiotemporal Data for Flood Impact Analysis" at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) on Friday, May 8. The platforms are SatGPT and GEOMIMO.
SatGPT was developed by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), and GEOMIMO (Geoinformatics Multi Input Multi Output) was developed by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).
Both platforms are expected to be able to read spatiotemporal data. This concept combines spatial and temporal dimensions to understand data, phenomena, or objects that change over time at a specific location.
GEOMIMO Integrates AI System
Prof. Rokhis Komarudin, Head of the Research Center for Geoinformatics at BRIN, explained that GEOMIMO is a platform for integrating remote sensing data and AI to support various national strategic needs.
He added that GEOMIMO integrates satellite data, UAVs, field sensors, crowdsourcing, and Google Earth Engine (GEE) to generate a variety of strategic geospatial information.
"AI enables automatic detection, pattern recognition, and the integration of various data sources to support near-real-time natural resource monitoring and disaster response," Rokhis explained.
SatGPT Utilization in Disaster Mitigation
Meanwhile, SatGPT is a platform based on AI and remote sensing satellite data developed by UNESCAP to support disaster mitigation and environmental analysis. Keran Wang, Chief of the Satellite Applications Section at UNESCAP, explained that SatGPT was developed for flood mitigation and can be expanded to meet various environmental monitoring and disaster mitigation needs.
"In the future, SatGPT is expected to be integrated with GEOMIMO," he explained.
SatGPT has been utilized for various environmental and natural resource issues. Wei Xie, an academic from Nanjing Normal University, introduced the development of SatGPT-Pro through the integration of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data and various other satellite data. Meanwhile, Prof. Louma Wang from the University of Hong Kong presented the development of SatGPT for mangrove mapping and identification and carbon stock calculations.
Conclusion
SatGPT and GEOMIMO, stalliete data-based tech platforms, were introduced at a training and youth forum at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Both platforms are expected to be able to read spatiotemporal data. GEOMIMO is developed by BRIN and is integrated with remote sensing data and AI to support disaster monitoring. SatGPT is developed by UNESCAP and can support various environmental and natural resource issues.
