Session
Session 11: Big Data From Small Satellites 2
Abstract
Advances in commercial and public space imaging systems, SmallSats and CubeSats; commercial cloud computing, networking, and storage; and machine learning algorithms for computer vision and predictive model are disrupting the traditional government subsidized remote sensing market that follows an imagery as sales business model. As accessibility to space increases with the decreasing cost and lifecycle of SmallSat systems development, the quantity of available remotely sensed data will also increase, and large data procurers will surpass the US government as the primary consumer. In response, the remote sensing market is transitioning to an information-as-a-service market that delivers timely, relevant, and actionable information to users such as agricultural and financial companies as well as the US government. Descartes Labs will present the analysis, monitoring and forecasting cloud platform implementing a Living Atlas of the World and providing a basis for the rapid development of high-level global-scale business intelligence products powered by machine learning and remote sensing designed to support small satellite constellations.
