Introduction

GeoInsight provides an API to query any location on earth to receive insights on that location. In general, these results will be exposed in a hexagonal cell grid format. This spatial grid will allow the user to integrate any kind of data or insights, and/or conduct spatial operations and analysis in the most efficient way.

Why? Harmonizing Data is the answer.

Geospatial data comes from different sources such as earth observation sensors, official and unofficial data, social media or IoT. However, these datasets come in various formats like raster or vectors of areas, lines or points. Projections, resolutions, data types of datasets seldom align. These inconsistencies lead to long data preparation times as data interoperability is lacking. Our API allows the fulfillment of this interoperability by using a Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) of hierarchical, almost equal area hexagonal cells.

A Global Grid

We transform open geospatial data into hexagonal cells and provide access to these datasets and insights through our API. Data interoperability is then established in an aesthetic hexagonal grid structure that partitions the planet into almost equally sized cells. Each cell will cover a specific region in the globe, and then have contained all the data and insights requested for that same region. We use a ISEA3H (opens in a new tab) grid system and you can learn more about our technology here.

Web 3

A global grid system with global addressable cell IDs is perfect for web 3 transactions. It allows consistent proof of location thereby minimizing trust.
