Satellite Data
Japanese space startups discuss how satellite data usage can be accelerated
Satellite data in the earth observation field rapidly expands and influences diverse industries, but challenges remain for further diffusion. Three companies (Synspective,SPACE SHIFT,Warpspace) spoke to us about their businesses and the challenges and prospects for satellite data utilization.
“Even when we didn’t get any results, I never thought it was hopeless at all.” Revealing a Story Behind the New Project of KAGOME and NEC Changing World’s Tomato Cultivation!
We interviewed KAGOME and NEC ‘s new project of applying satellite data to tomato agriculture!
Marine litter in the oceans can’t be solved by volunteering. Project IKKAKU’s Vision for an Economic System That Combats Marine Pollution
Project IKKAKU is working to create an economic system that combats marine pollution. We spoke with Yuko Ueno, a representative from Leave a Nest America, about their plans.
We are proud of our services because we have been able to do "this" The road to social implementation – Skymatics, a company that solves many industrial problems from the sky.
Skymatics solves all industrial problems by remote sensing and its own analysis technology. This interview is a must-read for those who are familiar with "social implementation with advanced technologies". The keywords are "persistence", "price setting", and "discernment of issues".
Is the Susanoo Shrine built in a location that is resistant to flood damage? We took a look at the enshrined deity and used satellite data to examine the city it is in.
In this article, we will be using the satellite data platform "Tellus" to look into a series of shrines called the Yasaka Shrines, which have both Buddhist and Shinto aspects to them. We will look specifically at their Hikawa sect which enshrines the deity Susanoo. Looking at Shrines From Space! Pretty Cool, Eh?
Using Amedas Data to Visualize Temperature Forecasts and Rainfall in Real Time.
For this article, we used the Amedas minute-by-minute data available on Tellus for our analysis. We looked specifically at the minute-by-minute Amedas data in northern Kyushu for rainfall that occurred between 5th and 6th of July 2017.
Using SSD to Perform Object Detection on Airplanes
For readers who want to try using machine learning and satellite data to do something interesting, we'd like to suggest trying out object detection. In this article, we attempt to use satellite data in order to perform object detection on airplanes.
No Image Pair required! Converting To and From Optical and SAR Images With Unsupervised Learning
In this article we use a yet-to-be released data set to convert SAR images into optical images, and vise-versa by using unsupervised learning that doesn't require image pairs.
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.
This is the forefront of the SAR image! Viewing images taken by ICEYE on Tellus!
One of the big up and coming technologies in the space industry right now is SAR (synthetic-aperture radar), and the global company on the forefront of this technology is a company stationed in Finland called ICEYE. This company recently made headlines when they achieved a SAR resolution of 25 cm.
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.
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.
Using Lightning Observation Data for Free! Learning About the Science Behind Different Types of Lightning
A long long time ago, lightning used to be feared. Even today, it still has a large impact on our everyday lives in the form of power outages and lightning surges. Lightning observation data allows us to understand when and where lightning will strike. Today, we will be looking into what causes lightning, and getting to learn how to use Tellus' lightning data.
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.
Get super-resolution for satellite images using SRCNN [with code]
In this article, we will try to get super-resolution images of actual satellite data using Tellus.
JICA aids the Cambodian Countryside with Hydroelectric Power. How extensive is the electricity? Satellites beautifully show us the exact incredible extent!
JICA's Evaluation Department is using satellite data to evaluate the effectiveness of their foreign aid. What exactly is the Evaluation Department's idea for using satellites?
