Speaker: Lowell Lam, City of Vancouver
Abstract: This presentation will be about the collaborative pilot project between Engineering and GIS & CADD Services, which involved training deep learning AI models to detect and assess crosswalk road markings. The pilot explored the capabilities, workflow, and potential of ESRI’s GeoAI tools for city operations, such as the yearly pavement marking assessments conducted by Engineering Services. As AI becomes more prevalent and advanced in the field of GIS, the power of machine learning can be highly beneficial across various departments and business cases. Therefore, it is important to explore the capabilities of AI and how it can be leveraged to our advantage.
