๐ŸŒŸ What is GEO-INFER?

GEO-INFER is a comprehensive geospatial inference framework that implements Active Inference principles for complex spatial-temporal problems. The framework provides 41 specialized modules organized into clear categories with well-defined dependencies and data flow patterns.

โœจ Key Features

  • ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Advanced Spatial Analysis: H3 v4 spatial indexing and geospatial processing
  • ๐Ÿง  Active Inference: Mathematical foundations for perception-action loops
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Data Processing Pipelines: Validation, quality control, and ETL workflows
  • ๐Ÿงฉ Modular Architecture: 41 specialized modules with clear dependencies
  • ๐Ÿงช Comprehensive Testing: Unified test suite across all modules
  • ๐Ÿ“š Professional Documentation: Standardized documentation with integration guides

๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

โšก Get Started in 3 Steps

# 1. Clone and enter the repository
git clone https://github.com/geo-infer/geo-infer.git
cd GEO-INFER

# 2. Install core modules (choose what you need)
uv pip install -e ./GEO-INFER-MATH    # Mathematical foundations
uv pip install -e ./GEO-INFER-SPACE   # Spatial analysis (H3 v4)
uv pip install -e ./GEO-INFER-ACT     # Active inference

# 3. Run your first analysis
python -c "
from geo_infer_space import SpatialAnalyzer
from geo_infer_act import ActiveInferenceModel

# Create your first spatial analysis
analyzer = SpatialAnalyzer()
model = ActiveInferenceModel()

print('๐ŸŽ‰ GEO-INFER is ready!')
print('๐Ÿ“š Check GEO-INFER-INTRA/docs/ for comprehensive documentation')
"
