GeoLabel – a NFDI4Earth Pilot for efficient Labelling of Geospatial Data

Project summary

Current annotation tools for geospatial data in Earth System Science are inadequate for handling large-scale datasets, lacking compatibility with common formats, user-friendly features, and robust export capabilities. To address these challenges, the NDI4Earth (National Research Data Infrastructure Germany), funded GeoLabel, a pilot project located at the Department for Sensor-based Geoinformatics.  GeoLabel will develop a WebGIS-based annotation tool that supports georeferenced labeling, improving the efficiency and accuracy of AI model training. This platform will offer features like AI-assisted labeling, standardized metadata, and crowd-sourcing compatibility, benefiting researchers, data curators, and citizen scientists. By streamlining and standardizing geospatial data labeling workflows, GeoLabel will significantly advance data analytics and research management, supporting broader NFDI4Earth initiatives.
