Create or bring a model
Start from existing scientific code, an analyst script, an open-source model, or a new model drafted with AI support.
NIKA GeoEngine
Serverless analysis ML infrastructure for real-world operations.
Give government and enterprise teams a faster way to deploy geospatial machine learning and classic scientific models. NIKA GeoEngine turns proven models into governed, reusable services that support planning, resilience, infrastructure, and environmental decisions.
Start in minutes
Deploy your first worker straight from the command line.
Install the CLI, wrap any script into a worker with your AI coder, then publish it to NIKA Planet, QGIS, ArcGIS, and the API. Copy each command and run it yourself — or skip the terminal and ask NIKA Analyst.
Install the CLI and sign in
Make sure Docker is running, then install GeoEngine and log in with your NIKA account.
- Install GeoEngine (macOS · Linux)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NikaGeospatial/geoengine/main/install/install.sh | bash - On Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NikaGeospatial/geoengine/main/install/install.ps1 | iex - Sign in with your NIKA account
geoengine auth login - Add QGIS / ArcGIS plugins (optional)
geoengine setup plugins --all
Don’t want to touch a terminal? Build, test, and deploy GeoEngine workers just by chatting with NIKA Analyst — it runs every step above for you.
Governed model lifecycle
Launch models once. Keep improving them after production.
Publish a governed service
Package it once, assign a version, and make it available to authorized teams through NIKA Planet, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, or APIs.
Improve after production
Retrain, tune thresholds, add new input datasets, compare outputs, and roll forward without disrupting field operations.
Model examples
12 examples of what teams can deploy as reusable analysis services.
These examples are drawn from the GeoEngine worker catalog and common public-sector workflows. More models can be browsed in NIKA Hub, or created with AI assistance for free.
Water and resilience
Hydraulic flood modelling
Run rainfall, river, and drainage scenarios so agencies can compare flood risk before approving works.
Forestry and carbon
Canopy height and biomass
Turn satellite and lidar evidence into forest structure layers for carbon, habitat, and restoration planning.
Urban planning
Building footprint extraction
Convert aerial imagery into building layers that support cadastral review, housing supply, and post-disaster checks.
Transport and logistics
Road and access detection
Extract road networks and access routes from imagery to support routing, emergency access, and infrastructure audits.
Agriculture
Water productivity
Estimate evapotranspiration and crop water productivity for irrigation planning and drought response.
Climate adaptation
Climate extreme indicators
Operationalize heat, rainfall, and cold-spell indicators for policy reporting and infrastructure stress planning.
Insurance and safety
Seismic and catastrophe risk
Model hazard, exposure, damage, and loss scenarios for emergency planning and asset risk portfolios.
Maritime operations
Vessel movement analytics
Analyze AIS tracks, port movements, marine zones, and environmental context for shipping and coastal enforcement.
Survey and mining
Drone photogrammetry
Convert drone imagery into orthophotos, point clouds, DSMs, and meshes for site progress and volume checks.
Mines and infrastructure
Ground movement monitoring
Use InSAR time series to detect subsidence, slope movement, and infrastructure deformation earlier.
Environment
Ecosystem service models
Run habitat, sediment, nutrient, carbon, and coastal vulnerability models for conservation investment decisions.
Energy
Renewable site suitability
Combine terrain, grid, wind, constraints, and ranking models to prioritize development sites.

Where it runs
Models reach the teams that need them, without asking every team to become infrastructure engineers.
GeoEngine workers can be made available across NIKA Planet, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and managed cloud workflows. The same model can support analysts, managers, and field operations with one governed release path.
