AI-Powered Impact Observatory Announces Partnership with Planet to Deliver Near Real-Time Change Monitoring with Best-in-Market Accuracy, Frequency and Resolution
05 Luglio 2023 - 3:00PM
Impact Observatory, a leader in AI-powered global mapping and
monitoring, today announced it has entered into a partnership with
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and
insights about the world. The partnership uses AI-powered analytics
to monitor land cover and land use (LULC) on top of Planet’s
high-frequency, medium- and high-resolution satellite data.
Automated analytics are core to helping customers better understand
changes and anticipate threats at previously unobtainable speed and
scale.
“The world is changing rapidly. Every day, cities
develop, crops are grown, forests are managed, and yet
unsustainable resource usage and natural disasters put the whole
system at risk. This greatly impacts society's choices about the
infrastructure, food systems, water supplies, and natural resources
that we all depend on,” said Steve Brumby, Co-founder and CEO of
Impact Observatory. “With AI-powered on-demand monitoring from
Impact Observatory using best-in-class PlanetScope imagery,
customers get access to accurate, near real-time geospatial
insights to support security, environmental and resource mapping.
Monitoring land-use change based on recent trends and historical
patterns enables decision makers with the detailed warnings they
need to respond to climate-crisis threats to communities,
infrastructure, and natural resources.”
With this partnership, customers experience high
quality space-based global mapping and monitoring benefits, when
compared to existing public satellite imagery solutions,
including:
- 10x increase in spatial resolution:
PlanetScope’s 3.5m spatial resolution enables customers to classify
features in built areas such as roads, buildings, small areas of
vegetation, and small bodies of water.
- 5x increase in temporal resolution:
PlanetScope’s daily, global revisit allows us to see the temporary
features of our living world, such as small, seasonal bodies of
water and flood water that aren’t visible in weekly imagery
available from public satellite data. It also allows us to monitor
changes more quickly and at earlier stages, such as forest losses
due to wildfire, impacts of flooding, start of new construction,
and damage due to conflict.
- Annual and seasonal classification: Classify
15+ land-cover categories, both annually and seasonally, create
maps up to today, create metrics, and identify areas of
change.
Impact Observatory’s IO Monitor service enables
government leaders to monitor the entire world in near real-time
without relying solely on national assets. Leaders in governments,
NGOs, finance and industry need trustworthy, actionable information
about the changing world to understand opportunities, identify
threats, and measure the impacts of actions. IO Monitor coupled
with PlanetScope imagery meets this need with timely, up-to-date
maps at previously unobtainable scale.
Impact Observatory turns millions of satellite
images into maps that label every pixel into one of nine categories
of major LULC. Since the release of their first global map in June
2021, Impact Observatory has received over 1,000,000 visitors
accessing and downloading our annual maps via Esri Living Atlas,
Microsoft Planetary Computer, and the AWS Registry of Open
Data.
