FarEarth Edge

​

FarEarth Edge pre-processes raw data to AI-ready imagery on-board the satellite. High-quality input imagery makes your real-time low latency applications possible.

​

FarEarth Edge seamlessly integrates with the rest of the FarEarth platform. Downlinked data is processed by FarEarth Cloud on-ground to continuously calibrate the satellite imager. These models are periodically uplinked to the satellite for accurate on-board pre-processing.

 

FarEarth Edge pre-processing produces radiometrically calibrated, band-aligned, terrain-corrected and precision-geolocated imagery. This is important to provide high-quality input for your edge processing application.

 

While edge processing can minimise data downlink volumes, users often still require high-quality, map-ready imagery of detected events for further analysis. Relevant raw data is downlinked and precision-processed on the ground to give context and inform decision-making. These images can be used for AI training and model refinement.

Edge processing is a trade-off between the accuracy and quality of the image, and the latency and cost of processing on-board. Where this balance lies depends on your specific application.
