Introduction

Geospatial Intelligence Powered by AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ushering in a new age of information and applications for the satellite industry. As Earth Observation (EO) satellites continue to capture higher levels of resolution, AI can transform how data is processed both in space and on Earth, increasing the speed at which insights can be delivered to customers. Here we showcase one such example of Geospatial intelligence powered by AI to identify Aircraft from Satellite Imagery.

We have trained a custom deep learning model to identify aircraft (object detection) from high-resolution satellite imagery*.

*-For test and evaluation purposes we have downloaded the imagery from Google Earth. The Image copyright belongs to Maxar Technologies.
