At Geoalert, we employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to detect and extract real-world objects a.k.a. 'features' from satellite or aerial imagery.

You choose what type of features you want to extract, where and from which imagery, and Mapflow will do the work for you.

Currently we can detect:

• building footprints (optionally, with height)
• forest (optionally, with height)
• construction sites
• roads

More info about our AI models can be found here.

Mapflow supports various imagery sources types. You can upload your local GeoTIFF image, or use one of the tile services on the Web. By default, we use Mapbox Satellite, but you can specify a link to another imagery in XYZ, WMS, etc. Among the providers, we have a special support for Maxar SecureWatch service.

The plugin can be found in the official QGIS plugin repository and can be installed by going to Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins in QGIS, and then searching for 'Mapflow'. Make sure the 'all' tab is activated.

To learn how to use the plugin, please, follow our guide.
