Research

Much of our method comes from research projects funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). We turn research results into solutions for clients, and we process satellite, aerial and drone imagery on our own platform.

Case study: EOImageNET

  1. The task

    One set of methods to find objects in satellite, aerial and drone images anywhere in the world and at different resolutions, from wind turbines and bridges to ships and solar panels.

  2. What we built

    Five detection models covering 26 object types, working across resolutions and conditions, built so they can be retrained for a specific business case.

  3. The business test

    Analysing and estimating ship traffic in ports. We confirmed the high accuracy of our analysis in tests covering the ports of Rotterdam, Shanghai and Edinburgh.
