Abstract: Extraction of depth from satellite images using neural radiance fields may be provided. Satellite image data may be received. Then a plurality of nadir rays, each with a plurality of points, in a first space may be constructed. A Machine Learning (ML) model may then be used to map the plurality of points along the plurality of nadir rays in the first space to a second space. Then the plurality of points along the plurality of nadir rays in the second space may be rendered into images and depths.

Abstract: A method is provided for estimating velocity of a moving object. The method includes generating a raw velocity for the moving object from a position change between a first image generated by a first sensor and a second image generated by a second sensor of a sensor assembly and selecting a plurality of stationary background features that are captured with the moving object in one or more images. A background misregistration value is generated from apparent movement of the plurality of stationary background features and is used to correct the raw velocity.
