Short summary
For the processing of geomatics data, artificial intelligence (AI) offers overwhelming opportunities. The integration of AI approaches in geomatics has developed into the concept of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI), which is a new paradigm for geographic knowledge discovery and beyond. This contribution outlines AI-based techniques for analysing and interpreting complex geomatics data. How AI approaches have been exploited for the interpretation of geomatic data is explained.
