geoRov, an underwater inspection platform

geogrid

A web platform that replays an underwater inspection: the ROV video and its position move together on the map.

The expert annotates what they see; each observation keeps its timestamp and GPS point, and the assessment exports to GeoJSON.

Invasive species detection: water chestnut

geogrid

A deep learning model that finds water chestnut (Trapa natans), an invasive aquatic plant, in aerial imagery.
