This tool lets you explore the dis/similarity of small areas in the
UK. Browse the map and click on an area of your liking. The tool
will take you to a view where you can compare it to the most similar
one found in the UK. Use the buttons on the bottom left to flick
through the next most similar, and then the next most similar, and
so on, you have 100 to go through for each. Then switch between
exploring the most similar and most dissimilar areas with the button
on the top right of the tool. When you want to switch to explore
another area, click on "Reset View" on the bottom right.
Underneath all of this are satellite embeddings, compressed
representations of images taken from satellite, that can be compared
with each other to ascertain how different two areas are. We use our
small area product
, which is based on Google's Satellite
Embedding V1.
