Using Computer Vision with Drones for Georeferencing
You can extract information about objects of interest from satellite and drone imagery using a computer vision model, but a machine learning model will only tell you where an object is in an image, not where it is on the globe.
To get the objects' GPS position, you need

Using Polygon Annotations for Object Detection in Computer Vision
Benefits to Existing Models
Polygons have traditionally been used for training image segmentation models, but polygons can also improve the training of object detection models (which predict bounding boxes). Object detection models are typically much faster and more widely supported, so they remain the best and most popular choice for
