Richer data equals smarter machinesIn machine learning, a form of AI, computer programs improve through experience, accessing data and using it to learn for themselves. Robust geospatial machine learning requires huge amounts of high-resolution satellite imagery, with more data equaling a smarter machine. Combining AI/ML with high-resolution satellite imagery, Maxar is creating change detection, object detection and precision footprint information layers. Algorithms and satellite imagery are also used to create complex, large-scale mapping projects for urban planning and niche projects like navigable drone airspace. A range of applications require precise 3D information to understand where and how to deploy resources safely and effectively.
