Global Feature Extraction

Global Feature Extraction is Ecopia AI's on-demand geospatial service that applies proprietary AI systems to fresh satellite or aerial imagery from leading providers (including Airbus Pleiades Neo and Hexagon HxGN) to produce HD vector maps at continental scale. Covering over 100 countries, the service extracts up to 12 core feature classes — including building footprints (2D and 3D), roads, sidewalks, railways, land cover, waterbodies, and vegetation — with the accuracy of a trained GIS professional and at 95% overall accuracy. Results are delivered as GIS-ready shapefiles, enabling direct integration into standard GIS workflows without in-house digitisation effort. Millions of square kilometres are processed monthly, and change-detection capabilities keep maps current as imagery is refreshed.
