Aino claims to be ‘the world’s first AI software tailor-made particularly for retrieving and analyzing spatial information’. In essence, Aino is an AI-powered platform that permits you to search and (supposedly) obtain spatial information from over 10,000 datasets throughout greater than 400 cities, overlaying factors of curiosity (POI), city infrastructure, social information, and rather more.
How Simple is Aino to Use?
I discovered Aino pretty intuitive. Within the free trial, you solely get 10 queries, so I wasn’t capable of discover Aino’s capabilities for very lengthy. Nonetheless, throughout my restricted trial, I used to be capable of outline an space on the map and add varied native factors of curiosity, highway linestrings, and constructing footprints inside the search space.
Aino stands out for its use of pure language queries. In comparison with Overpass Turbo, looking for spatial information with Aino is much extra intuitive, because it doesn’t require information of Overpass’ advanced question language. Nonetheless, throughout my transient trial, I couldn’t check extra superior and sophisticated spatial queries—an space the place Overpass actually excels.
Can You Obtain the Knowledge?
Aino features a “Obtain and Share” button, which reportedly permits you to obtain your information as a GeoJSON or CSV file. Nonetheless, regardless of what number of instances I tried to obtain my information as GeoJSON, I failed. This might be person error, however each time I requested Aino to indicate me information inside a polygon space, all I might obtain was the polygon itself – not the precise information. Even when deciding on “Export solely seen layers” and hiding the polygon, Aino would nonetheless solely export the hidden polygon as an alternative of the seen information layers I needed.
I could also be lacking one thing easy, however with out the power to obtain the information you’ve looked for, there isn’t a lot level in utilizing Aino. It could be that Aino simply must replace their assist information on Methods to export the undertaking in JSON to clarify methods to export spatial information from the map and never simply the defining search polygons.
