Company- Project:
EARTH-I – VANTAGE
Description:
Earth-i and CGI are currently developing the EO Video Analytics and Exploitation Platform (VANTAGE), funded by the European Space Agency, to promote and enable the widespread exploitation of EO video. CGI provides unparalleled expertise in the development and deployment of Exploitation Platforms, whilst Earth-i has a proven track record of delivering powerful analysis of EO imagery and video, using advanced Artificial Intelligence analytics techniques including computer vision and machine learning.
VANTAGE provides am extensive catalogue of archive EO video data for the users to interrogate, and a library of predefined analytics tools that are tailored to extract value from EO video. The platform also allows users to upload their own data and algorithms and use the platform for processing and interrogating that data in conjunction with EO video. In this demonstration session, Earth-i will showcase several stunning videos acquired by the VividX2 demonstration satellite and show how the VANTAGE analytics can be applied to them. We will provide an overview of the platform functionality, showing for example how users can extract cloud-free data from an EO video, or identify and track moving objects in the videos, or construct a 3D model from the video data. We will show how to use EO video data in combination with traditional satellite data acquisitions to derive higher level information products.
