🌟 The GeoAI QGIS Plugin v0.3.0 has officially been released! It has transitioned from an experimental phase to become a fully-fledged official plugin!

The smoothify package has been integrated into the GeoAI package to enhance AI-derived natural features, such as water bodies.

With just a few clicks, you can now harness the power of AI-driven spatial analysis directly within your QGIS workflow!

Important: For a smooth installation, make sure you install QGIS via conda-forge, so it’s compatible with PyTorch and other GeoAI dependencies.
