Ai Satellites Spying On Earth

Over the end few years in that place bring been some neat developments inwards figurer vision recognition. One application for these auto learning vision recognition algorithms has been to await for patterns inwards satellite images of the Earth.

For example, Onformative has developed an algorithm, called GoogleFaces, that scans satellite imagery looking for patterns that nosotros mightiness recognize equally resembling human faces. Terrapattern has too used deep learning auto vision techniques. In their illustration to give away locations which await really like from the air (share mutual geographical or urban patterns). Google's Land Lines too demonstrates how auto learning tin honor as well as recognize patterns inwards abstract imagery. Land Lines allows y'all to explore satellite imagery through finger or mouse gestures. Draw a trouble or blueprint as well as Land Lines volition give away satellite imagery which contains the same shape.

While these applications are neat fun to play alongside they are alone demonstrations of the potential last of auto blueprint recognition when applied to satellite imagery. The technology scientific discipline genuinely has some really serious potential real-world applications. For illustration Texty has trained a figurer model to search satellite imagery for prove of illegal amber mining.

Over recent years inwards the Ukraine thousands of hectares of province bring been stripped inwards club to mine amber. In fact some 50,000 Ukrainians are at 1 time involved inwards illegal amber mining. Texty created as well as implemented a auto algorithm that was able to analyze hundreds of thousands of satellite images to lay the locations of illegal amber mines inwards Ukraine.

You tin explore some of the results of this analysis inwards Земляна проказа, a even out map most Ukraine's illegal amber mines. The even out map includes a release of satellite images of illegal mining, all of which were constitute yesteryear Texty's algorithm. If y'all click on these images the spider web page cleverly turns into a map of the illegal mining location. Click on the 'x' as well as the map closes as well as returns y'all to the even out map.
