Meet the Phase 1 Winners of the StatVentures Address Geolocation Challenge!
We?re thrilled to announce nine Phase 1 winners of the StatVentures Address Geolocation Challenge, a challenge designed to improve the way residential addresses are geolocated in remote and rural areas.
The competition challenged organizations to propose new ways to produce more complete, accurate, timely and granular data on residential addresses in the United States, especially in rural and remote locations.
The winners of the first phase of the competition are:
Nine winners will each receive $11,111 ($100,000 in prizes split evenly across winners) and an invitation to join the StatVentures Phase 2 cohort. Phase 1 winners were selected for their unique approaches that include satellite imagery, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drones/unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), computer vision, high-resolution stratospheric imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Global Positioning System (GPS), mobile phone and broadband data, crowdsourcing, and new approaches to human settlement detection.
We couldn't be more excited to see these proposals move toward action.
Stay tuned for more updates on this and future challenges.
