Personally, I don't feel like aerial imagery gets the attention it deserves! So I invited Michael Bewley - Senior Director of AI Systems at Nearmap back on the podcast to help bring us up to speed on the state of the art of capturing, processing, and building a business around aerial imagery.

If you don’t care about aerial imagery, think of this as a story about turning unstructured data into structured data into insights and building a business around that.
