Ubotica Slashes Satellite Data Overload with On-Board AI Solution

Ubotica Technologies announced the CogniSAT-CRC solution which maximizes Earth Observation asset utilization using flight-proven CogniSAT technology. Using state-of-the-art lossless image compression, and a flight-proven AI-based Cloud Detection and Removal algorithm, CogniSAT-CRC delivers at least a six-fold increase in useful data capture per orbit for Earth Observation (EO) satellites thereby maximizing the areas of interest scanned during each orbit. As more complex EO sensors produce more data and with more satellites flying, there is now a data bottleneck in space. The available downlink capacity is not keeping pace with the data generated and this results in the under-utilization of these complex EO assets which reduces the system’s return on investment. CogniSAT-CRC directly addresses this challenge with an approach that can reduce downlink data costs by 80% while simultaneously trebling the amount of useful data gathered. www.ubotica.com
