Automatic Detection of Parking-Lot Space With Satellite Data Challenges and Points of Improvement for the Joint Project by Sakura Internet, akippa, and Ridge-i

During a talk session on August 4, it was announced that Sakura Internet, akippa, and Ridge-i are working together to develop an algorithm that uses satellite data to find space that can be rented out for parking cars, so we decided to talk with them about the challenges they face whilst developing this service, and the success they have made using Sharp's super-resolution technology.

The 4th Tellus Satellite Challenge is now underway! The theme is “coastline extraction.”

Here is an overview of the 4th Tellus Satellite Challenge, a competition for segmentation using satellite images, with details of the competition, helpful papers, and material.

Introduction

Structural Classifications Using SAR Polarimetry (Polarimetric Decomposition)

In today's article, we will be testing out whether or not you can use polarimetric decomposition to differentiate between natural and man-made objects.

Introduction

Do Smaller Antenna Really Correlate With Higher Resolution? Thorough Examination of One of SAR’s Mysteries Without Using any Formulas!

This time, we are speaking with a broad group of people who are interested in SAR images, including an engineer who processes them, to a business developer, obsessed with the SAR industry, to learn what determines the resolution of SAR images from top to bottom.

The conversion of SAR to optical image using pix2pix and analysis of another SAR image with this generator

Using GANs, which has become a popular topic in recent years as an image generation algorithm, I tried to convert non-intuitive SAR images into optical images.

New release

NDVI provided by Shikisai (GCOM-C) is available on Tellus!

We will be introducing the summary and directions for using the NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) data provided by Shikisai (GCOM-C), that was added to Tellus OS on May 28, 2020.

Notebooks

Using Tellus to Determine Land Subsidence via InSAR Analysis [Code Included]

This article will go over coding algorithms for the interferometric analysis of SAR images. Anyone can use this code to create their own InSAR images.

Super-Resolution Processing of Satellite Images Using Sharp’s Deep Learning Model

Super-resolution is a technique to artificially raise the resolution of an image. Super-resolution is one of the hot topics in the field of machine learning, but what happens when you combine it with satellite imagery? We went to the Sharp Corporation Research and Development HQ, and asked the manager of the 3rd Research Team for Communication & Image Technology Laboratories, Tomohiro Ikai, and researcher, Eiichi Sasaki about the future of this technology.
