Atlas of Water Science via generative AI
This is our Atlas of Water Science. It's a globe mapping water science that colleagues have done over the past few years. Approx 300 papers got analyzed. The pipeline sends open access papers to an LLM asks the LLM to extract areas relevant to science in a form suitable for a geocoder, then we use a geocoder to get lat lons. When things happen in the same spot we jitter the locations a bit to differentiate things. gpt4o-mini was used for most of the analysis. Some of the features on the website are directly invented by Claude. There are some errors when geocoding went wrong or locations were…
Atlas of Water Science via generative AI launched on December 16, 2024 with 8 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
Explore open access water research from researchers in CSIRO
Open access water research from researchers in CSIRO's Future Water program, mapped to the rivers, basins and places it studies. Select a publication or a point on the globe to see its study locations, evidence and strongest connections. Use the filters on the left to emphasise matching papers. The rest stay on the map, quieter. Fit papers frames the highlighted set. This atlas maps open access water research from researchers in CSIRO's Future Water program to the rivers, drainage basins and places relevant to its science, and draws the relationships between papers. Locations, summaries and connections are extracted from papers using AI and may contain inaccuracies or biases. Use with…from wateratlas.webapp.csiro.au

Atlas – GIS and interactive maps in the browser2024 · atlas.co · ▲161Atlas is the AI-native GIS. Build maps, dashboards, and spatial workflows from a conversation — GIS-grade analysis, accessible to your whole team. Trusted by energy developers, asset managers, and field operations teams.
PDF to MD by LLMs – Extract Text/Tables/Image Descriptives by GPT4o2024 · github.com · ▲191I've developed a Python API service that uses GPT-4o for OCR on PDFs. It features parallel processing and batch handling for improved performance. Not only does it convert PDF to markdown, but it also describes the images within the PDF using captions like `[Image: This picture shows 4 people waving]`. In testing with NASA's Apollo 17 flight documents, it successfully converted complex, multi-oriented pages into well-structured Markdown. The project is open-source and available on GitHub. Feedback is welcome.
Satellite imagery object detection using text promptsMar 2026 · useful-ai-tools.com · ▲53I built a browser-based tool for detecting objects in satellite imagery using vision-language models (VLMs). You draw a polygon on the map and enter a text prompt such as "swimming pools", "oil tanks", or "buses". The system scans the selected area tile-by-tile and returns detections projected back onto the map as GeoJSON. Pipeline: select area and zoom level, split the region into mercantile tiles, run each tile with the prompt through a VLM, convert predicted bounding boxes to geographic coordinates (WGS84), and render the results back on the map. It works reasonably well for distinct…
