Mosaic: A Framework for Geospatial Analytics at Scale

Location: Data and AI Summit, San Francisco, March 2022

This video provides an overview of the Mosaic project and the Mosaic framework and the vision Mosaic team had once the project was started. It also provides an example of how Mosaic can address use cases such as Ship To Ship Transfer of Goods Detection and how to integrate Mosaic and Delta Live Tables to build a geospatial analytics pipeline for ingestion of Open Street Map data.

Vector and Raster Data Unification Through H3

Location: Spatial Data Science Conference, London, May 2023

This unification facilitates an easy plugin/plugout capability for all raster and vector layers. Databricks used these principles to design an easy, scalable and extensible Flood Risk for Physical Assets solution using H3 as a unification grid.

Mosaic: A Framework for Geospatial Analytics at Scale

Location: Spatial Data Science Conference, London, May 2022

This video walks us through Geospatial Analytics on the Lakehouse, discussing how to build scalable, efficient, cloud-based, data platforms based on the Lakehouse architecture. It also covers two initiatives: Product Integrations with CARTO & Project Mosaic. Mosaic is a Databricks Labs project, which brings a unified framework for distributing geospatial analytics on Databricks.
