City Coverage

Bower developed specialized AI models for four major metropolitan areas, each trained on unique architectural and geographic features

Last updated: November 2025

Research & Development

City-Specific Research

Bower's research team developed specialized AI models for Miami, Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. Each model was trained on distinct architectural patterns, landmarks, and geographic features unique to that metropolitan area.

This research demonstrated how city-specific training data significantly improves computer vision model performance for urban environment analysis and spatial intelligence applications.

Research Outcomes

Key Learnings from Multi-City Development

Our research across these four metropolitan areas revealed critical insights into building effective geospatial AI systems:

  • City-specific architectural patterns significantly impact model performance
  • Coastal vs. inland environments require different analysis approaches
  • High-density urban areas benefit from landmark-focused training data
  • Regional climate and lighting conditions affect visual recognition accuracy
