“Sust Global transforms complex climate data into granular financial signals with best-in-class data integration into customer workflows. Sust Global’s industry-first platform enables investors and businesses to assess the physical climate risks facing their business, measure the emissions their assets produce, and build climate-ready financial products and services.”
“This group of experts discussed how the new sensors and satellite constellations being deployed to low earth orbit lowers the cost of acquiring raw geospatial data. And, when combined with advances in geospatial data platforms, interoperable datasets, distributed computing, and modern computer vision techniques, this data presents endless possibilities for analysis that will enable increased understanding of our planet and create new opportunities for commercial value.”
“Because Stanford is one of the world’s leaders in machine learning, the potential for new discoveries and innovation are intriguing for Gopal Erinjippurath, Planet’s senior director of analytics engineering.
‘At Planet, we are constantly experimenting with machine learning approaches to derive critical geospatial insights served at a global scale,’ says Erinjippurath.”
“Recent innovations in agile aerospace have created unique offerings in high cadence satellite imagery. While this is of immense interest to imagery analysts, a significant portion of GIS professionals and geo-data scientists work less with raster data (AKA imagery) and more with point and vector data. Planet operates the world’s largest constellation of earth observation satellites providing near-daily coverage of the entirety of Earth’s landmass. Over the past couple of years, we have been working on bringing computer vision and spatiotemporal analysis to market to enable access and data transformations on this rich imagery archive.”
