Mapping the geospatial patterns of broadcasted news
Mapping the geospatial patterns of broadcasted news allows a geospatial analyst to gain insights into common and unusual geospatial patterns. We decided using one of the most comprehensive news collection named “Global Database Events of Tone and Language” (GDELT) as the ground truth. We published the geoprotests API and offer web-services endpoints returning ready-to-use geospatial features representing …
Getting insights from political violence and protests around the world
In this walkthrough we used one of the most widely used analysis OSINT source named ACLED. With the help of spatial binning we easily recognized historical events between 2000 and 2020 without being an intelligence expert. We implemented a Python module for the most used GEOINT workflows.
GEOINT: “The new frontier of feature engineering.”
A gentle introduction into geospatial intelligence and why we should care about.
