Chatter on ImageNet and Geoffrey Hinton (back propagation for deep learning). I think ImageNet *is* awesome and having a vast classified open image archive is what made Hinton's work possible. Anyone know of a #geospatial equivalent out there?
... “Pre-ImageNet, people did not believe in data,” Li said in an interview... “Everyone was working on completely different paradigms in AI with a tiny bit of data”...
The development version of the #rstats terra package now uses the viridis color palette by default.

TIL about rasterio, a #Python library for working with #rasters that's a lot easier to install than GDAL. Total gamechanger!
I needed to find out the CRS of a GeoTIFF that #ArcGIS wasn't reading correctly. It was a simple as running this code:
```
import rasterio as rs
dataset = rs.open(‘file.tif')
print(dataset.crs)
```
Documentation: https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
And shout-out to this article that pointed me to it: https://towardsdatascience.com/reading-and-visualizing-geotiff-images-with-python-8dcca7a74510
Howdy #mapstodon !
I'm hoping someone can take the time to help a #GIS #noob with a project. I'm working in the #Unity3D game engine to create game terrain from real world data.
So far it has been successful, but it is a painstaking process done completely by hand.
My trouble has to do with the projection of #OpenTopography data, USGS30m #Rasters to be precise.
I've attached two images to illustrate my problem...
#Rasters In A #Database? with @pwramsey
That's a definite must-listen episode from the always fabulous @MapScaping #podcast
