Exploring Multimodal LLMs for Remote Sensing with LibreGeoLens
2025-11-03 , Lake Thoreau

LibreGeoLens is an open-source QGIS plugin for experimenting with Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to analyze remote sensing imagery.

Developed and released by Ampsight, LibreGeoLens aims to accelerate GeoAI development and evaluation, while giving back to the community.


In this hands-on workshop, we introduce Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and explore their potential for analyzing remote sensing imagery. Participants will get a live demo of LibreGeoLens, an open-source QGIS plugin that enables testing and comparing AI models within a familiar GIS environment.

LibreGeoLens is designed for rapid experimentation and prototyping, not to replace workflows, but to help users evaluate emerging models and identify opportunities for integration into real-world geospatial analysis pipelines.

After the demo, participants will install and configure QGIS and LibreGeoLens, then follow a guided, step-by-step tutorial to explore the plugin's capabilities. In the final portion of the workshop, participants are encouraged to test models on their own imagery or use cases, share insights with others, and contribute feedback to inform future development.

All skill levels welcome. No programming experience required.
