Cloud-native geospatial processing suite.

FilmDrop is a suite of open source tools for ingesting, archiving, processing, analyzing and distributing geospatial data in the cloud.

An annotation tool designed for geospatial data, including satellite, aerial, and drone imagery. GroundWork supports object detection, chip classification and semantic segmentation projects, ideal for creating training datasets for machine learning projects.

Raster Vision is an open source library and framework that bridges the divide between the world of GIS and deep learning-based computer vision for satellite and aerial imagery.

Earth Search offers a public search and discovery API for Earth on AWS, Amazon‘s registry of open geospatial datasets. Initial datasets include the entire USGS Landsat Collection 2 and ESA Sentinel-2 catalogs, Sentinel-1, Copernicus DEM, and NAIP with more datasets being added regularly.

  • FilmDrop Edge: On-Orbit->

    As new EO instruments with even greater spatial and spectral resolution come online, satellite providers are faced with transmitting very large amounts of data. FilmDrop Edge On-Orbit addresses this problem by using on-satellite processing to reduce the volume of data that must be downlinked from the satellite.

  • Visualizing Natural Disasters with GOES Mesoscale Imagery->

    In an effort to aid in visualizing natural disasters, we put together a small data pipeline to display GOES mesoscale data of the recent Hurricane Hilary and display it on a web map along with a simple vector layer.
