    SynMax is delighted to announce that we have been awarded a pilot project for maritime automated analytics from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). "We are honored to be selected by #NGA for this critical pilot project. Theia's innovative intelligence fusion platform will provide essential data and analysis to support NGA's mission.” Brendan• M SynMax CEO Theia, SynMax’s maritime domain awareness platform, ingests more than 20 million km2 of Planet’s Planetscope imagery every day, fusing it with multiple datasets, including 24/7, global AIS and Sentinel 1 (#SAR) and 2 (EO) imagery. Proprietary #AI automatically detects, identifies, and tracks vessels globally. “#Theia marks a significant leap in MDA technology, delivering actionable intelligence through advanced intelligence fusion, driven by proprietary AI and world-class imagery analysts.” Eric Anderson SynMax CTO & Founder https://lnkd.in/eUydadhJ #celebration #contract #datafusion #maritimedomainawareness #datafusion #geospatial #intelligence #whyguesswhenyoucanknow

    Carbon Mapper leadership was honored to join leaders from across government, philanthropy, civil society and industry at today’s White House Super Pollutants Summit. Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide during its time in the atmosphere. Cutting methane today is the fastest way to slow the rate of warming while we work to reduce CO2. The upcoming launch of the first Carbon Mapper Coalition satellite Tanager -1, with Planet and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will help fill gaps and dramatically scale up the availability of public data at the granularity needed to accelerate emissions reductions globally. We continue to work with partners, communities and policymakers to help translate data into meaningful insights and tools that help decision-makers around the globe. 🌎 Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dSMSJ2jY) #CutMethane #MethaneData

    Proud of our Planet team, including Andrew Zolli and Amy Rosenthal, for contributing to this Frontiers in Science publication, focused on biodiversity protection: https://lnkd.in/gRQfhBEH A Key Insight: "A Permanently protecting only 0.74% of land found in the tropics, where Conservation Imperatives are concentrated, could prevent the majority of predicted near-term extinctions once adequately resourced."

    We’ve partnered with Microsoft and humanitarian aid organizations to support a rapid disaster response and building damage assessment to cover the impact of Hurricane Beryl on Grenada. More info below:

    Our thoughts are with those affected by Hurricane Beryl, the earliest recorded Category 5 Atlantic Basin hurricane. Microsoft is working with Planet and humanitarian organizations to provide a preliminary analysis of the damage sustained by affected communities. We have run our damage assessment AI models on the satellite images we received from Planet and have maps of the affected buildings. If your organization would benefit from the underlying data in this report—please contact me. We are committed to sharing this information in support of the response efforts. It’s important to note that there is uncertainty in building footprints, and that building labeling efforts are ongoing by humanitarian organizations.  Because of these differences, we trained a change detection model which looks at both the pre- and post-event imagery and assumed that all change was caused by the hurricane. The output of this model is in the red overlay on the visualizer. We then intersected the change layer with two building footprint layers: 1) an incomplete set of OpenStreetMap building footprints; and 2) a building footprint layer we generated based on just the pre-event imagery. We have used both OpenStreetMap and our own building segmentation model to estimate damage, with a range of damage between the two models. We were able to view 1937 buildings in the study area of the island of Carricou. Out of these, we estimate that at least 888 buildings were damaged:  777 buildings (40.11%) with damage fraction between 80 and 100%  102 buildings (5.27%) with damage fraction between 60% and 80%  75 buildings (3.87%) with damage fraction between 40% and 60%  70 buildings (3.61%) with damage fraction between 20% and 40%  913 buildings (47.13%) with damage fraction between 0% and 20%    Our AI model bases its assessments on satellite imagery, which, while powerful, covers only a portion of the affected area and has limitations. The data and accompanying maps should serve as a preliminary guide and require on-the-ground verification for a thorough evaluation. The AI for Good Lab is committed to aiding recovery efforts and sharing valuable information that can accelerate the restoration of impacted communities. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with other organizations to help those in need. https://lnkd.in/gHEJaH4r Team: Caleb Robinson, Anthony Ortiz, Andrew Hassanali, Andrew Zolli, Amy Michaels, Kevin White , Santiago Salcido
