Democratising access to GeoAI with InstaGeo

Satellite image deep learning · Nov 26, 2025 · 23m · transcript

In this episode, I caught up with Ibrahim Salihu Yusuf from InstaDeep’s AI for Social Good team to hear the story behind InstaGeo, an open-source geospatial machine learning framework built to make multispectral satellite data easy to use for real-world applications. Ibrahim explains how the 2019–2020 locust outbreak exposed a gap between freely available satellite imagery, existing machine learning models, and the lack of tools to turn raw data into model-ready inputs. He walks through how InstaGeo bridges this gap - fetching, processing, and preparing multispectral data; fine-tuning models…
