Web & MobileGIS Data Collecter
Have you ever dreamt or even imagined of carrying a whole Total Station in your pocket? Meet this cross-platform MobileGIS app that enambles a surveyor/ GIS personnel to efforltessly collect any spatial data (point, lines, polygons) in the field at their desired comfort. The geo-fenced MolibeGIS app enables the office-based project-admin to deploy the data collection team and monitors them work remotely within that geo-fenced region. More about this amazing technology is coming up...
GIS & ML in Epidemiology
Employing GIS in epidemiological research has always catalysed the outcome as attested by Dr. John Snow's finding about Cholera in 1854. Predictive Machine Learning as an add-on elevates the experience higher. HIV/AIDS and Malaria has been subjecting the Ministries of Health especially in Kenya into great finacial jeopardy. Applying ML & GIS to monitor the behaviour & predict the spread provides a great avenue for informed decision making for effective deploying resources in a given affected zone.
Mobile GIS in Surveying
Occassionally, land surveyors are faced with this common problem of locating the nearest vertical Grounds Control Points(GCPs) from which they can transfer their traverses or say, levels. This cross platform MobileGIS app (Android and iOS) enables you to quickly spot the nearest GCP from your project location. Further you can edit the existing or add new control points, which are later subject to approval by the Surveyors of Kenya or any other mandated body for accuracy scrutiny. A web version is under developement too.
WebGIS for National Resources
A country like Kenya, is well endowed with both natural and built resources, that to some expent it might prove strenuous to seamlessly man them. Open Source WebGIS can be explored to gather, monitor, visualize and manage these and more resources both at local, regional and naionla level. This is a sample of how the Stadia in kenya e.g Moi Int'l Kasarani can be monitored using webGIS.
Climate Change Forecasting & AI
Can machines think?- Alan Turing, 1950. Well, prediction is nolonger only for the prophets or some devine beings! Climate emergency is worrying me, and you? Being able to model time series data for informed climate crisis forecast from the past trends is left to machines. LSTMs, ANN, GANS, CARTs, RFs just to list partially are my artificial eyes to preconcieve climate change.
Nanosatellite Developement
Wait! So we just be there consuming third-party satellite data without deploying our own artificial eye into space to collect us first hand images? How can we then monitor our agricultural fields, forest & natural resources? My zeel for multi-discplinary & technical engagement saw us come up with a deployment-ready nanosatellite set to fill such gaps. The CubeSat is under upgrades for launch.
