DigiMe
DigiME is a technology startup specializing in real-time map data collection, updating, and processing solutions. The company aims to build a comprehensive digital database of the global economy, markets, geography, and people. Through a proprietary data platform that is directly surveyed and processed, governments and businesses can simplify complex problems by accurately answering basic questions:
- What? – Identifying geographic, economic, and social entities.
- Where? – Precisely locating information on a digital map.
- How much? – Measuring the scale, density, and economic value of an area.
- How? – Analyzing data to make optimal forecasts and strategies.
DigiME has developed The Map3, a platform that connects digital map providers and local communities to ensure data is always accurate, complete, and up-to-date. By leveraging community power, users can collect street images via the DigiME app, which are then processed by AI to quickly update maps. This model not only improves map quality but also creates additional income for participants, aiming towards an open and sustainable data ecosystem.
Core Technology:
- Map Fragmentation System: Divides areas into small grid cells, each managed by a collaborator for updates.
- Street Image Collection: The DigiME app allows collaborators to capture real-time images.
- AI Data Processing: Analyzes images to identify points of interest (POI), addresses (PA), street attributes (SA), and real-time weather conditions.
- Automatic Data Synchronization: Processed data is directly updated to the map provider’s system.
Competitive Advantages:
- Faster Map Data Updates: Thanks to a wide network of collaborators, data is continuously refreshed.
- Lower Costs: No need to deploy expensive survey teams, DigiME optimizes data collection costs.
- High Accuracy: AI analyzes image data, ensuring reliability and reducing errors compared to manual methods.
Achievements and Development Directions:
DigiME has partnered with HERE Technologies, a digital map provider, to improve map data accuracy and update speed in Southeast Asia. The Map3 application has helped increase data completeness to 99% and expanded information collection to millions of geographic points.
In the near future, DigiME plans to expand into fields such as self-driving cars, market analysis, and smart city research while extending operations beyond Southeast Asia to reach more markets.
