GeoAI, the convergence of geographic information systems and artificial intelligence, is no longer an emerging concept. It is embedded across every Esri deployment, and it is actively transforming how AEC professionals extract intelligence from their data.
If you weren’t able to attend the June 2025 webinar, you can watch the recording anytime and share it with your colleagues.
Here's what the session covers:
- The evolution of feature extraction: from manual digitizing tablets to machine learning to modern deep learning neural networks, the webinar grounds attendees in the why behind GeoAI before diving into the how.
- A practical GeoAI workflow: step by step, presenters walk through collecting training samples, training a model, running inferencing, post-processing results, and scaling across sites — demystifying the end-to-end process.
- 90+ pre-trained models, ready to use: Esri's Living Atlas hosts a growing library of deep learning packages (DLPKs) available free with an ArcGIS subscription. Object detection, pixel classification, land cover mapping, building footprint extraction, solar panel detection, and more, no training required to get started.
- Foundation models: including Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM) and TextSAM, which accepts plain-language prompts to locate features across any imagery. Open-source models from platforms like Hugging Face are also fully supported within the Esri ecosystem.
Live demos across every deployment:
- ArcGIS Online - Land cover classification from drone imagery using a Living Atlas model
- ArcGIS Pro - SAM-powered pixel-wise segmentation of construction site assets
- Enterprise / Deep Learning Studio - Collaborative model training across distributed teams
- Experience Builder - A fully integrated AEC site management dashboard featuring solar panel monitoring, construction progress time series, 3D visualization, and stakeholder-ready filtering tools
AEC-specific applications discussed in depth: site selection and suitability analysis, construction progress monitoring, asset management and predictive maintenance, climate resilience planning, digital twin generation, and BIM/CAD integration.
