01
See the work before you contract
Send 25-50 representative frames. We label them at our cost, return the output and a per-class QA scorecard. You decide whether to scope a pilot after you have seen the labels, not before.
Geospatial Annotations
Build better geospatial AI with accurate, model-ready training data
We transform satellite imagery, drone captures, LiDAR point clouds, GIS vectors, and change-detection scenes into clean labels, auditable QA, and export-ready datasets your model or GIS team can actually use.
Satellite, aerial, drone, LiDAR, and GIS vector annotationModel-ready outputsQA before production
How we keep the first step easy
Three commitments that come standard
02
Per object or per hour, your call
Bill per labeled object when scope and volume are predictable. Bill per labeling hour when the workflow is exploratory or the schema is still firming up. Both models are on the table from the first scoping call.
03
Your labeling platform, our labor
We operate in CVAT, Labelbox, Roboflow, V7, Scale AI workflows, and most in-house labeling stacks. No platform migration on your end. If you have a custom tool, we learn it on the pilot.
The status quo
Where generic annotation services fall short
- Annotators label objects but miss spatial relationships — proximity, orientation, and geographic context
- Coordinate-referenced labels require GIS expertise most labeling teams don't have
- Inconsistent labeling creates noisy training data that compounds into model failures in production

Proof-led positioning
What this page needs to make obvious
Primary geospatial data annotation services authority for satellite, drone, LiDAR, GIS vector, change detection, QA, and file-format searches.
Satellite, aerial, drone, LiDAR, and GIS vector annotation
Buildings, roads, vegetation, water, land cover, infrastructure, point clouds, and GIS features labeled with spatial context.
Model-ready outputs
GeoJSON, shapefiles, masks, point layers, classified point clouds, COCO, KITTI, Mapillary, and attribute tables.
QA before production
Geometry checks, class consistency, topology review, duplicate detection, boundary validation, and export verification.
Proof workflow
Input, review, evidence, output.
Modeled on the live Geospatial Solutions demos: the page should show what the buyer sends, what they review, what evidence stays visible, and what they receive.
Input
Satellite scenes, drone captures, LiDAR point clouds, GIS vector layers, target classes, and output requirements.
Review surface
Calibration labels, taxonomy rules, edge-case examples, and GIS-aware QA are reviewed before scaling.
Evidence
Every batch keeps class definitions, source context, confidence, QA flags, and export checks visible.
Output
Model-ready datasets in GeoJSON, shapefiles, segmentation masks, classified point clouds, or your pipeline format.
Source and limits
Technical trust should stay visible.
Confidence
Pilot QA scorecard before production volume.
Caveat
Final accuracy depends on imagery resolution, class ambiguity, and available ground truth.
Source
Satellite, drone, aerial, LiDAR, GIS vectors, and customer-owned imagery.
QA boundary
GIS-aware review, geometry validation, source traceability, and export checks.
Export path
GeoJSON, shapefile, masks, point clouds, COCO, KITTI, Mapillary, CSV, or FileGDB handoff.
Before the first call
What you send · What you get
No vague discovery phase. You bring four or five things, we return a specific plan you can evaluate.
→ What you send

- 2Target feature classes and geometry types (point, line, polygon, mask)
- 3Required output format (GeoJSON, COCO, KITTI, Mapillary, custom)
- 4Approximate volume, deadline, and accuracy requirement
- 5Security or NDA constraints (we sign mutual NDA up front)
← What you get back
- 1Calibration set with QA scores returned in 2-4 business days
- 2Documented edge-case log with our interpretation of every ambiguous class
- 3Schema-locked production scope with per-frame pricing
- 4Inter-annotator agreement report (kappa, F1 by class)
- 5Sample report with feature layer, QA notes, and exports
Class library
83 documented asset classes across 4 categories
Every class has a labeled definition, edge-case examples, and QA rules calibrated against authoritative GIS databases. Add custom classes during pilot and we extend the taxonomy.
Road infrastructure
28 classes
- Pavement markings
- Striping (single, double, dashed)
- Crosswalks (all types)
- Lane lines (direction-aware)
- Stop bars + yield triangles
- Road boundaries + shoulders

Asset geolocation
34 classes
- Traffic signs (R-series, W-series, MUTCD-compliant)
- Traffic signals + pedestrian heads
- Utility poles (wood, concrete, steel)
- Streetlights + cobra heads
- Guardrails + crash cushions
- Barriers (Jersey, K-rail, temporary)
- Manholes + catch basins
- Fire hydrants + valves
Training data extraction
12 classes
- Object detection bounding boxes
- Semantic segmentation masks
- Instance segmentation
- Polygon classification
- False-positive cleanup pass
- False-negative recovery (hard-negative mining)
GIS delivery formats
9 classes
- GeoJSON (QGIS / ArcGIS native)
- COCO (training-ready)
- KITTI (AV-research convention)

Sample deliverable
A single feature, as you would receive it
Every label is a complete GeoJSON feature with geometry, class, confidence, QA trail, and source provenance. Loads directly into your map, your trainer, or your validator — no conversion script.

Questions teams ask before they engage us
Common questions, answered honestly
Why work with you over Scale AI or Sama?
Three reasons: spatial expertise (we read coordinate systems natively, they don't), pilot speed (2-4 days vs 2-4 weeks), and pricing transparency (we publish per-frame rates, no enterprise sales gauntlet for a first project).
What annotation platforms do you operate in?
CVAT, Labelbox, Roboflow, V7, and Scale AI workflows. We can also build custom labeling tooling when off-the-shelf platforms can't enforce the spatial validation your project needs.
Do you handle multi-modal annotation (LiDAR + imagery + GPS)?
Yes. Multi-modal alignment is one of the things we're set up for — LiDAR point cloud annotation with cross-referenced camera imagery, geolocated metadata, and synchronized timestamps preserved through the pipeline.
How fast can we get started?
Pilot can start within 48 hours of NDA execution. Send your data and target schema; we return labeled output by end of business day 3. No procurement cycle, no MSA required for the pilot.
