AI Helps Facebook’s Internet Drones Find Where the People Are
In total, the system analyzed 15.6 billion images representing 21.6 million square kilometers of Earth. Using that sample of binary information—8,000 photos labeled as either containing a human artifact or not—the neural net could accurately identify other human settlements in other locations. “Just based on that information, the algorithm can then go out and find all sorts of human artifacts,” Maguire says. The error rate, he says, is less than 10 percent.
