v0.1 WIP

Analytics available in v1

Built on proven geospatial engines — enhanced with practical, explainable AI.

Vectors. Rasters. Point Clouds. GeoAI — combined into a single execution platform.

Vector Analytics

Scalable geometric operations leveraging the industry-standard PostGIS engine. We expose strict SQL-compliant operations through a visual interface. Guarantees: Full ACID compliance, OGC Simple Features adherence, and rigorous floating-point precision handling.

join_inner

Spatial Joins

Join attributes based on ST_Intersects, ST_Contains, or ST_Within relationships.

radio_button_unchecked

Buffers

Geodesic buffers (ST_Buffer) with customizable end-cap styles and side parameters.

layers

Intersections

Compute precise geometric intersection of complex polygon layers (ST_Intersection).

blur_on

Dissolve / Union

Aggregate features and merge geometries based on attribute grouping (ST_Union).

bar_chart

Zonal Statistics

Calculate raster statistics within defined vector zones using robust summary stats.

content_cut

Clip & Difference

Extract or remove features using an overlay polygon (ST_Difference).

Raster Analytics (GDAL & xarray-powered)

High-performance pixel-based analysis running on optimized GDAL binaries. Guarantees: Precise pixel alignment, automatic projection consistency, and NoData handling.

calculate

Map Algebra

Complex mathematical operations on single or multiple layers.

transform

Reclassify

Reassign pixel values based on ranges or remapping tables.

landscape

Terrain Analysis

Derive Slope, Aspect, and Hillshade characteristics from DEMs.

grass

Spectral Indices

NDVI, NDWI, and custom band math for multispectral imagery.

Point Cloud Capabilities (Foundational, v1)

Native support for massive LiDAR and photogrammetry point clouds (PDAL-based). Note: v1 focuses on classification and cleanup. Optimized for processing raw LAZ files up to 50GB without manual tiling.

filter_alt

Decimation

Intelligent thinning of point density while preserving structural features.

layers_clear

Ground Classification

Automatic separation of ground points from non-ground points (CSF Filter).

vertical_align_bottom

Height Normalization

Compute absolute height of points relative to the ground surface model.

psychology

AI Capabilities (Integrated into Analytics)

"We believe AI in engineering should be an accelerant, not a black box. Our models are constrained to valid geospatial operations and always provide the underlying query or logic for verification."

Talking to Vector Data (AI-assisted GIS)

chat

Translate natural language questions into rigorous SQL queries. Ideal for exploring new datasets or complex attribute filtering without writing code.

Capabilities

  • check Natural Language to Query generation
  • check Semantic search over unstructured attribute text
  • check Automated schema mapping and data cleaning

Execution Model

LLM -> SQL Compiler -> Sandbox

Guarantee

Human-in-the-loop verification required before write ops.

Open Data & Earth Observation Analysis

satellite_alt

Apply pre-trained computer vision models to satellite and aerial imagery to extract features and detect changes instantly.

Capabilities

  • check Building footprint extraction & segmentation
  • check Land use / Land cover classification (LULC)
  • check Temporal change detection on Sentinel-2 stacks

Data Sources

Sentinel-2, NAIP, Maxar, User GeoTIFFs

Guarantee

Confidence heatmaps provided for all detections.

How Analytics Are Used

database

Ingest & Index

Drag & drop files or connect S3/PostGIS. VistaMap automatically indexes geometry and creates vector tiles.

model_training

Compute & Solve

Execute deterministic GIS operations or run AI inference models. Infrastructure scales automatically.

download

Verify & Export

Review AI suggestions, validate topology, and export results to standard formats or direct database write-back.

info Intentionally Out of Scope for v1

To ensure maximum reliability for our core engineering users, we have explicitly deferred these complex features for future releases. We focus on static analysis and batch processing first.
