Abstract: High Resolution Land Cover (HRLC) may be provided. A first high resolution image of a scene may be received and a plurality of second medium resolution images of the scene taken over a period of time may be received. A segmentation of the first image may then be performed. Next, a plurality of transformations may be performed on the plurality of second images. Then a temporal stack layer for a plurality of temporal statistics for each of the plurality of transformations on the plurality of second images may be created. The temporal stack layer may then be intersected with the segmented first image using a plurality of spatial statistics to produce a plurality of spatio-temporal layers. A Machine Learning (ML) model may be used on the spatio-temporal layers to classify pixels in the first image into respective ones of a plurality of classifications.

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.
