The Future of Street View Search is Here: Meet KartaVision

Bogdan Gliga - Senior Data Science Manager @ Grab

Studio room

13th November, 10:30-11:00

Tired of endless clicking to find what you're looking for in Street View? KartaVision is here to revolutionize how we interact with geospatial data. This presentation will introduce our innovative application, which leverages the power of CLIP embeddings to enable natural language queries on Street View imagery. Instead of searching by address or coordinates, you can simply type what you're looking for—a graffiti art mural on the side of a building or people walking their dogs in a park—and KartaVision will find it for you. We'll explore the technology behind this unique semantic search engine and demonstrate how it's transforming the way we discover and analyze our surroundings, making the world's streets searchable with just a few words.`
