Service Description

Oceanir provides an image analysis and geo-estimation inference platform that uses probabilistic machine learning models (including but not limited to the “Orca” series) to estimate the likely geographic origin of visual media.

Oceanir is intended for property verification, due diligence, research, and investigative analysis, not for identifying or tracking private individuals.
