Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few years agone Onformative developed an algorithm, called GoogleFaces, that scans Google Maps satellite imagery looking for patterns inwards the landscape that nosotros mightiness recognize every bit resembling human faces.

Terrapattern has taken this reckon of detecting patterns inwards aerial imagery together with developed it into something that is genuinely rattling useful. Using deep learning car vision techniques Terrapattern is able to conduct keep a user input (a selected expanse on a satellite map) together with search for other locations which hold off the same.

For example, if yous click on a golf game course of didactics sand trap on the aerial map Terrapattern volition at in i lawsuit break other locations amongst golf game course of didactics sand traps.

The Terrapattern about page has other examples that yous mightiness desire to endeavour searching for, such every bit baseball game diamonds, airplanes or solar panels. Part of the fun of Terrapattern even together with thence is only clicking on the map to run into how speedily it finds other like looking locations.

That 'about' page every bit good includes a lengthy 'How it Works' explanation of the neural network behind Terrapattern.
