The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees $321,578 on September 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop scalable, trustworthy, and privacy-preserving methods for cross-view geo-localization. The project will create large-scale datasets combining ground-level imagery, aerial imagery, satellite imagery, geographic information system data, segmentation annotations, and natural language descriptions collected from diverse regions worldwide. Research activities include developing foundation models that learn shared representations across multiple views and modalities, investigating reasoning capabilities to explain artificial intelligence decisions, and implementing privacy-preserving techniques to protect sensitive geospatial information. The project will produce openly available datasets, models, and software resources while providing research and training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. Performance occurs in Alafaya, Florida, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030. The award addresses limitations in current artificial intelligence systems that struggle to generalize across geographic regions, adapt to changing environmental conditions, and protect sensitive information—constraints that restrict broader use of geospatial artificial intelligence in transportation, mapping, environmental monitoring, emergency response, and public safety applications.
