Recent developments in the geopolitical arena surrounding Ukraine, Russia, and NATO have drawn the attention of intelligence analysts and companies providing assessments of the latest Russian military movements in the context of a potential escalation. Because the conflict has been going on since 2014, there are many well-known locations used as staging areas for the […]

We now offer our customers data and expert analysis of the US Supply Chain Management in near-real-time as seen from satellite images.

While SAR data are extremely useful for highly skilled defense & intelligence analysts, SpaceKnow cutting edge development and deployment of AI/ML algorithms enables full automation of the imagery analytics process, finally unlocking this state-of-the-art technology to the wider market.

In this study, we illustrate how our satellite-based nowcasting solutions can be used to track the evolution of the economic impact during one month of the nationwide lockdown in Malaysia imposed in June 2021 in response to the latest surge of the pandemic.

Satellites can image almost every corner of the earth. ML algorithms can be developed to recognize objects, detect changes, and measure economic activity with these images. This opens up endless possibilities. The question is not only what to look for – but where to look for it?

With high tensions and the whole world watching the Russia-Ukraine border last month, we decided to apply our machine learning algorithms to analyze the assets at the Morozovsk Air Base located nearby. Our aim was to detect and evaluate any unusual activity, compared to previous years.

Our team has developed AI/ML algorithms designed to precisely classify military equipment on the ground using high-resolution satellite imagery. We analyzed Yelizovo Air Force Base and Avacha Bay to see if we could validate what was reported by the press.

Remote Sensing Technologies are being used to determine the physical properties of land and what it is used for. Deforestation/reforestation, illegal logging, safety of critical infrastructure like power lines and railway lines, and vegetation health are among the many use cases for this technology. Our Chief Scientist, Michal Reinstein, describes SpaceKnow solution in this blog.

In late July, a cargo ship called MV Wakashio ran aground south of Mauritius, causing the biggest ecological disaster ever faced in the Indian Ocean. In this article, we use our proprietary Change Detection algorithms to analyze the crisis from space.

“Climate change remains the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and wellbeing of the peoples of the Pacific,” according to the Boe Declaration of the 18 countries at the 49th Pacific Islands Forum in September 2018. It’s not only carbon emissions like methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) that disturb the atmosphere and threaten climate change, […]

Increasing ocean vitality vulnerability led SpaceKnow to investigate artificial islands across the globe where the impact of trash has severely affected the ecosystem. We tracked ship activity as well as the progression of urbanization. See how the activity of ships around artificial landfills is tracked and detected by SpaceKnow analytics.

The recent droughts have had a severe impact on urban vegetation in the European Union. SpaceKnow recently examined the drought in Germany, revealing changes in vegetative health and yield in cities. SpaceKnow used its Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a graphical calculator capable of analyzing surface coverage to examine the drought. The NDVI algorithm measures […]

Public and private service providers need reliable and up-to-date information about the urban landscape in order to efficiently plan maintenance, improvement and building of infrastructure. Satellites orbiting the Earth generate vast amounts of unstructured data. Using AI, we are able to analyze this data instantaneously and provide decision makers with unique insights into urban monitoring worldwide.

More than half of the world’s population live in cities. 17 of the top 20 fastest-growing economies are cities in India. Using satellite data, we provide timely alternative data in regions where information is scarce. In this article, we use our proprietary AI/ML algorithms to analyze urban growth in the fastest-growing city in the world: Surat, India.

We provide our users with the capability to count cranes in construction zones and receive the precise GPS coordinates of each. Cranes represent construction, urban growth and economic activity. SpaceKnow uses ‘machine learning’ to create algorithms that detect trends in satellite imagery received from our providers like Planet, Airbus, and Digitalglobe. The images here are […]

China continues to push its economic agenda into the 21st Century with massive modernization to the Silk Road. The new initiatives are called the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road. With clients of SpaceKnow highly focused on this project over the next decade, we continue our studies of China and its economic ambitions with […]

It’s no secret we live in a data-driven world. As more satellites get launched into the sky, image resolution becomes finer, costs go down, and satellite data analytics becomes more useful to organizations of all kinds. This article will prepare you to leverage this advanced technology.

With all the new satellites and satellite imagery providers coming to the market, we’ve had to be creative in our approach to algorithm development. In this blog, our Chief Scientist dives into our methodology.
