You draw a polygon on the map and enter a text prompt such as "swimming pools", "oil tanks", or "buses". The system scans the selected area tile-by-tile and returns detections projected back onto the map as GeoJSON.

Pipeline: select area and zoom level, split the region into mercantile tiles, run each tile with the prompt through a VLM, convert predicted bounding boxes to geographic coordinates (WGS84), and render the results back on the map.

It works reasonably well for distinct structures in a zero-shot setting. occluded objects are still better handled by specialized detectors like YOLO models.

There is a public demo and no login required. I am mainly interested in feedback on detection quality, performance tradeoffs between VLMs and specialized detectors, and potential real-world use cases.","time":1773042753,"title":"Show HN: Satellite imagery object detection using text prompts","type":"story","url":"https://www.useful-ai-tools.com/tools/satellite-analysis-demo/"}],[45829594,{"by":"tortilla","descendants":91,"id":45829594,"kids":[45829762,45829931,45829967,45829872,45829821,45829870,45829800,45829961,45830105,45830084,45829861,45830044,45829991,45830534],"score":44,"time":1762386223,"title":"Photos: New Phoenix Microcenter is a 'tech-heaven' for geeks","type":"story","url":"https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts-culture/micro-center-in-phoenix-a-look-inside-the-new-tech-heaven-40618548/"}],[44851019,{"by":"rbanffy","descendants":222,"id":44851019,"kids":[44851726,44892705,44893906,44892563,44892724,44893125,44894293,44896366,44898823,44892721,44897329,44895188,44900770,44895463,44894213,44907405],"score":170,"time":1754779296,"title":"PCIe 8.0 announced by the PCI-Sig will double throughput again","type":"story","url":"https://www.servethehome.com/pcie-8-0-announced-by-the-pci-sig-will-double-throughput-again/"}],[44018386,{"by":"pabs3","descendants":58,"id":44018386,"kids":[44019354,44019111,44019205,44019214,44019043,44019496,44020189,44019866,44020045,44019956,44019172,44019708,44019351,44019274,44019726,44020321,44019644,44019300],"score":80,"time":1747533459,"title":"Confessions about my smart home","type":"story","url":"https://frenck.dev/confessions-about-my-smart-home/"}],[42861080,{"by":"thyrox","descendants":29,"id":42861080,"kids":[42861299,42861931,42861292,42861188,42861286,42861277,42883403,42863221,42861213,42861107],"score":96,"time":1738120426,"title":"DeepSeek R1 671B running on 2 M2 Ultras faster than reading speed","type":"story","url":"https://twitter.com/awnihannun/status/1881412271236346233"}],[42505542,{"by":"EA-3167","descendants":22,"id":42505542,"kids":[42505954,42506427,42507293,42506601,42505617,42506668,42506379,42506661,42506551],"score":161,"time":1735080914,"title":"Gordon Mah Ung has died","type":"story","url":"https://www.pcworld.com/article/2564783/gordon-mah-ung-remembered.html"}],[41756432,{"by":"simonebrunozzi","descendants":940,"id":41756432,"kids":[41768861,41768759,41758056,41760345,41758351,41768201,41766587,41767507,41768268,41767913,41757983,41763385,41769348,41758714,41756753,41758539,41758706,41767822,41770203,41758491,41758136,41769790,41758507,41767437,41768142,41758435,41768502,41769162,41768145,41769647,41758060,41777194,41768008,41756667,41769140,41761505,41765444,41769429,41758490,41760041,41758421,41767772,41761526,41762049,41770230,41757886,41768655,41768850,41758596,41767844,41769052,41769949,41769263,41764437,41768188,41772308,41758183,41770712,41770242,41768461,41770266,41770577,41767957,41771166,41758454,41771292,41768296,41759937,41768343,41767878,41771608,41773516,41767633,41769215,41768134,41770082,41770097,41767595,41767892,41767660,41769383,41767967,41769476,41775144,41769191,41758885,41759638,41769414,41770471,41769905,41763595,41768029,41768796,41757926,41781196,41773958,41767707,41772896,41773490,41757747,41772549,41758473,41795431,41758414,41768973,41757847,41767794,41764244,41772798,41757968,41767468,41770263,41761128,41759319,41758090,41767964,41769576,41775736,41769685,41769912,41767471,41761205,41781099,41814234,41769220,41769727,41771959,41768823,41769605,41773849,41835228,41758448,41769238,41758551,41768712,41768204,41769936,41802421,41769627,41806395,41758484,41760881,41758581,41771746,41769918,41767528,41767937,41769791,41758598,41767946,41770957,41770274,41768224,41768179,41770178,41787438,41783200,41767645,41772511,41773015,41761262,41767758,41807801,41775340,41759293,41772377,41813749,41768321,41803055,41773152,41773477,41768936,41768263,41762192,41769794,41769551,41756768,41768288,41768569,41758385,41763184,41767836,41761378,41780746,41797061,41768556,41796172,41771087,41796583,41770029,41791112,41767432,41795295,41768068,41767400,41756848,41759014,41814192,41768909,41768021,41759219,41769743,41789985,41768320,41767512,41771585,41769810,41768115,41779031,41758460,41778861,41769296,41762119,41768364,41775133,41781088,41767408,41758434,41768982,41767664,41758169,41768393,41768652,41768306,41773243,41772475,41767634,41758057,41770394,41758229,41759502,41773555,41758575,41769120,41767328,41772790,41768817,41778705,41768418,41768557,41767444,41773044,41772841,41758933,41768793,41767931,41772240,41771688,41768217,41768043,41768126,41768340,41774253,41771247,41769390,41781327,41772478,41767600,41781486,41767499,41769397,41767605,41768549,41767458,41762674,41774095,41769980,41772768,41763039,41758429,41760247,41768931,41770565,41806679,41758068,41768669,41758380],"score":376,"text":"I got asked recently, and I think it's an excellent question.
