  • Patent number: 11961172
    Abstract: A system and method for object monitoring, detection, and segmentation in electro-optical (EO) satellite imagery data comprising an image processing engine configured to prepare EO data for analysis by an inference engine which utilizes one or more trained models to perform object detection or image segmentation. The workflow begins with ingesting satellite data, followed by de-hazing to remove atmospheric interference. Image enhancement improves resolution and geo-registration ensures precise spatial alignment. The processed image is then fed into a machine learning-based object detection or image segmentation network, trained to identify specific objects of interest. This integrated approach leverages advanced technologies to extract actionable insights from satellite data, enabling efficient and precise object monitoring, detection, and segmentation.

  • Publication number: 20230325726
    Abstract: Techniques for quantifying accuracy of a prediction model that has been trained on a data set parameterized by multiple features are provided. The model performs in accordance with a theoretical performance manifold over an intractable input space in connection with the features. A determination is made as to which of the features are strongly correlated with performance of the model. Based on the features determined to be strongly correlated with performance of the model, parameterized sub-models are created such that, in aggregate, they approximate the intractable input space. Prototype exemplars are generated for each of the created sub-models, with the prototype exemplars for each created sub-model being objects to which the model can be applied to result in a match with the respective sub-model. The accuracy of the model is quantified using the generated prototype exemplars. A recommendation engine is provided for when there are particular areas of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230252362
    Abstract: Techniques for recommending a prediction model from among a number of different prediction models are provided. Each of these prediction models has been trained based on a respective training data set, and each performs in accordance with a respective theoretical performance manifold. An indication of a region definable in relation to the theoretical performance manifolds of the different prediction models is received as input. For each of the different prediction models, the indication of the region is linked to features parameterizing the respective performance manifold; and one or more portions of the respective performance manifold is/are identified based on the features determined by the linking, the portion(s) having a volume and a shape that collectively denote an expected performance of the respective model for the input. The expected performance of the prediction models for the input is compared. Based on the comparison, one or more of the models is/are suggested.

  • Publication number: 20230084869
    Abstract: A system for simplified generation of systems for analysis of satellite images to geolocate one or more objects of interest. A plurality of training images labeled for a study object or objects with irrelevant features loaded into a preexisting feature identification subsystem causes automated generation of models for the study object. This model is used to parameterize pre-engineered machine learning elements that are running a preprogrammed machine learning protocol. Training images with the study are used to train object recognition filters. This filter is used to identify the study object in unanalyzed images. The system reports results in a requestor's preferred format.

  • Patent number: 10733759
    Abstract: A system for automated geospatial image analysis comprising a deep learning model that receives orthorectified geospatial images, pre-labeled to demarcate objects of interest. The module presents marked geospatial images and a second set of unmarked, optimized, training geospatial images to a convolutional neural network. This process may be repeated so that an image analysis software module can detect multiple object types or categories. The image analysis software module receives orthorectified geospatial images from one or more geospatial image caches. Using a multi-scale sliding window submodule, image analysis software scans geospatial images, detects objects present and geospatially locates them.
