Through this vision paper, we hope to draw the attention of researchers and policymakers in geospatial domains to these privacy and security risks inherent in GeoAI foundation models and advocate for the development of privacy-preserving and secure GeoAI foundation models.

So when applied to large-scale real-world GPS coordinate datasets, which require distance metric learning on the spherical surface, both types of models can fail due to the map projection distortion problem (2D) and the spherical-to-Euclidean distance approximation error (3D).

For the spatial domain approach, we propose ResNet1D, a 1D CNN-based polygon encoder, which uses circular padding to achieve loop origin invariance on simple polygons.

However, a map projection distortion problem rises when applying location encoding models to large-scale real-world GPS coordinate datasets (e. g., species images taken all over the world) - all current location encoding models are designed for encoding points in a 2D (Euclidean) space but not on a spherical surface, e. g., earth surface.

A common need for artificial intelligence models in the broader geoscience is to represent and encode various types of spatial data, such as points (e. g., points of interest), polylines (e. g., trajectories), polygons (e. g., administrative regions), graphs (e. g., transportation networks), or rasters (e. g., remote sensing images), in a hidden embedding space so that they can be readily incorporated into deep learning models.

Location encoding is valuable for a multitude of tasks where both the absolute positions and local contexts (image, text, and other types of metadata) of spatial objects are needed for accurate predictions.

While Points Of Interest (POIs), such as restaurants, hotels, and barber shops, are part of urban areas irrespective of their specific locations, the names of these POIs often reveal valuable information related to local culture, landmarks, influential families, figures, events, and so on.
