Unibap and its remote-sensing partner, SaraniaSat Inc., successfully demonstrate high-performance analysis of satellite imagery

Unibap AB, a company devoted to using artificial intelligence to automate solutions on Earth and in space, and SaraniaSat Inc., a provider of actionable information and data to support complex decision making, deployed L3Harris Technologies’ ENVI® and IDL® software to perform complex image processing tasks on SpaceCloud. This enables SpaceCloud customers to harness deep learning capabilities for high-performance, on-orbit computations on all types of geospatial imagery and data.

Adding ENVI and IDL to SpaceCloud enables customers to quickly and easily perform highly specialized tasks that require advanced image analysis onboard satellites at the point of data acquisition. Download delays from having to downlink information to the ground are eliminated.

“Sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are now required to rapidly extract actionable information and make decisions,” says Dr. Fredrik Bruhn, CEO of Unibap. “Adding ENVI image analysis to SpaceCloud is very exciting and dramatically increases its value. Our customers can utilize information derived from hyperspectral, multispectral, thermal, LiDAR and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) without delay.”
