 GeoMate is an AI-driven mapping company transforming how cities and autonomous systems see the world. Our vision pipeline automatically extracts roads, lanes, and urban features from aerial and satellite imagery to create simulation-ready HD maps and dynamic mobility environments. These maps power applications in autonomous driving, delivery robotics, and smart-city planning, enabling large-scale, accurate, and continuously updated digital twins of the real world.  This presentation will introduce GeoMate’s problem space and demo our RealSimE platform, which delivers simulation-ready maps for autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) validation. Additionally, we’ll outline real-world challenges and approaches to using remote sensing data for computer vision applications.
