So siiiiiick. Could this be extended to coregister any two images?

Brendan Ashworth2 years ago

right now we reference basemap/satellite imagery as the ground truth but we could change that to any geotiff I guess!

Robin Cole2 years ago

Neat! Any insights to the technique, GitHub repo?

Brendan Ashworth2 years ago

thanks! not open source, but I'll be sharing some details at my QGIS user conference talk in two weeks 😉

No manual GCPs? My god. The number of hours I spent doing this in the late 2000s.

Will this work for more coarse Easter satellite data like MODIS and VIIRS?

not sure - this is something we'll need to try!

I am excited to introduce OpenGeoAgent, a powerful open-source multimodal AI agent for automated geospatial analysis and visualization! It supports QGIS, Jupyter notebook, and Python scripting. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to automate GIS workflows using natural language, generate maps, analyze satellite data, and even run complex hydrological models. You can even interact with the agent using voice commands (no typing needed). Video: GitHub: QGIS Plugin: #geospatial #GeoAgent #OpenSource #AI

🎁 A New Year’s gift to the geospatial community: a brand-new QGIS plugin that unlocks access to 80+ petabytes of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with zero coding required. In my first video of 2026, I’m excited to share what might be one of the most powerful QGIS plugins I’ve built so far. This plugin makes it incredibly easy to explore the official Earth Engine Data Catalog and the Awesome GEE Community Catalog directly inside QGIS. With just a few clicks, you can browse massive Earth Engine datasets, visualize them on the map, generate time series from ImageCollections, export data for further analysis, and even convert Earth Engine JavaScript workflows to Python, all without writing a single line of code. If you’ve ever wanted the power of Earth Engine inside QGIS without the learning curve, this plugin is for you. 👉 Download the plugin and follow the full step-by-step video tutorial to get started today: QGIS Plugin Page: GitHub Repository: Video Tutorial: Happy New Year, and I hope this tool helps you do more with geospatial data in 2026 🚀 #QGIS #geospatial #EarthEngine #Python #datascience

I automated Yeti vlogs with AI. One click generates everything. Here's how it works: → Generate video ideas automatically → Create prompts using AI agents → Produce videos with VEO3 API → Auto-post to TikTok instantly → Run daily without touching it The whole system costs $3-6 per video. Worth it for monetized channels. Save this video, you'll automate content creation. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

We’re launching Mundi, the first open-source web GIS built for AI. After years of training geospatial AI models, we decided now is the moment to build the GIS software of the next decade. After the AI Vectorizer, Georeferencer, and Kue (our LLM agent inside QGIS), we realized that GIS is at an inflection point. But existing mapping software was neither powerful enough to allow for synchronous collaboration with AI agents, nor open source to allow the community to build on top of it. If we want to get the most out of LLMs, we need to create our own GIS that is purposefully designed for AI—Mundi. With Mundi, you collaborate with Kue, our AI GIS agent, to edit your map, rather than physically interacting with tools as you would in a legacy GIS.

We built maps for people. Now, we’re building a new kind of map for robotics and AI. 🤖📍 Niantic Spatial CEO John Hanke shares why this foundation will be as essential to the future of AI as digital maps were for the web. 80% of the global economy operates in the physical world. For AI to truly scale, it must move beyond chatbots and synthetic worlds. It needs to navigate, understand, and safely interact with our reality.

I love open source AI in ComfyUI because it lets me control every step. For this spaceship shot I tracked the camera, designed layout geometry in Blender, exported depth maps, prompted the final look with an AI image editor, and jumped into Photoshop to clean it all up.
