Discovery Day 2017 is focused on technology’s contribution to the implementation of the VGGT and on addressing some of the world’s most pressing tenure related issues, resulting from the negative impact of climate change, violent conflicts, mass migration, and growing urbanization. Bringing together speakers from the government, the private sector, FAO, World Bank, European Commission Joint Research Centre, the Discovery Day 2017 aims to demonstrate how technology could contribute to improving governance of tenure through transparency, accountability, and gender equality in land administration. © FAO: http://www.fao.org

22. Introducing “Penny”
22
Interactive AI applied to imagery
… on GBDX

23. Penny is a collaboration
between DigitalGlobe,
Stamen Design, and
Carnegie Mellon University
Penny is an
implementation of
resnet50 and will be
available as a GBDX task

24. Penny allows users to explore the
power of machine learning applied
to satellite imagery through a
simple visual interface.
Using a deep neural net trained on
DG imagery, Penny predicts
median income by looking at a city

25. Users can compare
what Penny “thinks” to
what the census tells us
But the real value comes in
allowing users to explore
how changing surface
features changes Penny’s
perception of wealth
