Science Sundays: "Using AI and GIS to create virtual worlds from old maps" on Dec. 7

The Ghost Neighborhoods of Columbus project is applying AI and GIS to old Sanborn Fire Insurance maps to create immersive, virtual worlds of how neighborhoods in Columbus looked in the past, prior to urban highway construction and urban renewal projects.
