The Leading AI-Powered Geospatial Analysis Software
Vesta is the only GIS software that combines advanced space-time analysis with AI-powered guidance. Ask questions in natural language, get instant analytical insights, and conduct sophisticated geospatial analysis—no coding required.
Smart Data Import
Vesta’s intelligent import automatically detects time columns, geographic coordinates, data types, and missing values—eliminating manual configuration. Import from spreadsheets, shapefiles, and databases with options to merge datasets or aggregate point data to polygons on the fly.
User Customization
Choose your level of analytic control: Automatic mode for quick results, Simple mode for guided analysis, or Expert mode for full customization. Vesta adapts to your expertise level. Select default plot style: Midnight theme for a slick look, Artic theme for clean and airy, or warm earth-toned Sandstone.
Geostatistical Analysis & Kriging
Use advanced geospatial analysis techniques to extract insights from your spatial data, including spatial autocorrelation, uncertainty modeling, indicator kriging, variogram modeling, and spatial interpolation.
Vesta Features
Vesta is designed for everyone, from beginners to experienced geostatisticians. No programming is required, and all features are native to Vesta, so you’ll never need to worry about add-ons or plugins. Features include:
Smart Data Import
Vesta’s intelligent import automatically detects time columns, geographic coordinates, data types, and missing values—eliminating manual configuration.
Joinpoint Regression
Model time series of related variables using compositional joinpoint analysis. For example, track how the composition of different causes of mortality types changes, identifying specific years when significant shifts in mortality cause occur.
ML Regression
Build predictive models using your choice of 9 machine learning algorithms including decision tree methods, generalized additive models, and linear modeling approaches.
Geostatistical Analysis & Kriging
Use advanced geospatial analysis techniques to extract insights from your spatial data, including spatial autocorrelation, uncertainty modeling, indicator kriging, variogram modeling, and spatial interpolation.
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR)
Model how relationships between variables change across space. GWR reveals local variations in your data that global models miss, essential for understanding spatially varying processes.
Local Cluster Analysis
Identify hotspots, coldspots, and spatial outliers using Local Moran’s I, and test for global spatial structure. Vesta generates complete analytical workspaces with all results, making it easy to animate and brush through data.
Dynamic Data Visualization & Animation
Highlight observations and animate your data on maps, histograms, and scatterplots to rapidly identify space-time patterns. Use Vesta’s time slider to visualize how data evolves, with seamless linking and brushing across all visualizations.
Categorical Variables
Incorporate categorical variables in variograms, kriging, and regression. Vesta handles categorical variables seamlessly across all analysis methods, from geostatistical kriging to exploratory visualization.
Who can use Vesta?
Vesta’s intuitive design and AI-powered guidance enable accurate, rapid analysis for critical decisions. From infrastructure planning to public health surveillance, Vesta is trusted across diverse fields including infrastructure management, cancer epidemiology, urban planning, agricultural optimization, and environmental health assessment.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure professionals identify service lines responsible for lead in water. Vesta assigns probabilities of lead contamination to individual addresses and service lines, helping prioritize areas for assessment and remediation.
Cancer Registry
Cancer registries communicate temporal and spatial trends in cancer rates. Vesta models cancer incidence over time and space, accounting for geographic variation in temporal trends to inform targeted health interventions and policy decisions.
Urban Planning
Urban planners work to improve the built environment and mitigate urban heat islands. Vesta visualizes and models landscape features—from green spaces to building materials—to identify strategies for cooling urban areas and improving livability.
Agriculture
Agricultural enterprises optimize crop yield by tracking soil nutrients, moisture, and water quality. Vesta maps and models how soil properties and yields change across fields over time, directly supporting precision agriculture decisions for fertilization and irrigation.
Exposome
Environmental health researchers quantify complex human exposures to environmental hazards. Vesta integrates multiple data sources—air quality, water contaminants, industrial facilities, healthcare access—to create comprehensive exposome maps that identify cumulative health risks and inform protective interventions.
