Satellite edge analytic platform for scalable AI$248Kvalue2023start2025end

The proliferation of small satellites in the New Space Era has spurred the development of computational systems deployed on agile CubeSats for onboard detection of cloud and floods. There is a need for scalable space IoT frameworks for satellite edge computing (SEC): In addition to growing real-time data requirements for earth observation applications, capability to perform or offload compute on devices is critical for 1) remote areas, mountains, and sea, where ground resource and connectivity is limited 2) Delay-sensitive applications with multi-domain data for situation awareness.

On-board satellite video generation technology for automated smart satellites$244Kvalue2020start2022end

The recent trends in low-cost satellite have supported an increasing large number of small satellites launches such as CubeSat, with 3000 more expected in the next 6 years. Despite sensors capturing objects at sub-meter resolutions, current technology cannot monitor or analyze data continuously or on-board. To support next-generation satellites, we propose developing an effective satellite video generation framework. The framework will be part of a shift in paradigm to on-board artificial intelligence (AI) enabled processing for satellite. We propose to develop new capabilities on CubeSat

Satellite Video Analytics Toolkit$50.0Kvalue2021start2022end

In this project, the firm will extend capabilities of detection, tracking and identification from maritime environment to the land area. Land application poses challenge on detection of small and potentially faster moving objects. The firm proposes a motion-based approach for detection of land vehicles from satellite videos and a context-based detection method for land where every region of the land is semantically segmented to identify the land use patterns. The firm proposes to create a database of well annotated data points that can be used to correct the detection and classification perfor
