Benefits
Ecopia provides 15 layers of classified land cover features derived from geospatial imagery, plus unique height attribution for buildings.
Ecopia's AI-based technology extracts land cover features from high-resolution imagery with >95% geometric accuracy, providing an unparalleled digital source of truth for the physical world.
Ecopia's partner network of leading geospatial imagery providers captures high-resolution imagery every year, enabling us to detect change and deliver annual updates of our 3D Land Cover data.
Comprehensive land cover and land use data at scale
2D foundational layers
Ecopia's AI-based mapping systems detect and extract every feature captured in our input imagery, whether natural or manmade, and classify the results into distinct layers depicting critical landscape elements and infrastructure.
3D buildings
Using our advanced AI-based feature extraction, we derive and append unique height attribution for all buildings, delivering a 3D representation of the physical world.
Change detection
Every year, Ecopia leverages our partnerships with leading geospatial imagery providers to source fresh high-resolution imagery. This imagery is mined using our AI-based systems, resulting in an annual update of land cover to deliver map content with the latest real-world data.

I cannot emphasize enough how much time Ecopia saves us. It took four years to build our previous dataset which quickly became stale and needed updating. Each year, Ecopia is able to extract the features we need in just a few weeks, ensuring we always have a fresh database for emergency response planning.
By partnering with Ecopia to map over 24,000 miles of sidewalks and crosswalks, we were able to identify gaps and strategically plan for infrastructure - especially for residents without adequate sidewalk access.
Ecopia’s ability to create unique detailed, accurate mapping layers at scale and with speed is key. The data is a fundamental and innovative step in the fight against climate change, flooding, threatened public access to natural resources, habitat loss, storm preparedness and recovery, and vulnerable infrastructure and populations.
Ecopia’s ability to create a high-accuracy product was critical, but their ability to maintain the dataset is what really differentiates them from our previous efforts. DWSD is able to rely on the interpretation not changing year over year and thereby minimizes staff resources to integrate the product into our workflow. This directly translates into a cost and time savings.
We needed accurate and complete data to effectively allocate taxpayer dollars to transportation infrastructure improvements. Ecopia was the only data company we found that could deliver the exact features we were looking for at the level of quality we require to justify funding our projects.
Having Ecopia’s data was very helpful in cutting down the extensive time and labour needed to document all of the County’s roadway assets. Previously this work would have required teams of manual annotators and staff in the field to verify results. Ecopia has been an important asset in supporting our active transportation and vision zero plans.
The partnership with Ecopia empowers us with an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy about northeastern Illinois. These comprehensive and up-to-date views of transportation and land cover will help CMAP and local decision makers drive innovation and develop projects that serve our region’s 8.5 million residents.
