About the team

The Analytics and Applied Artificial Intelligence group applies and adapts state-of-the-art methods in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines such as Image Science, Computer Vision and Remote Sensing, in order to enhance DG imagery and associated metadata, and to build global scale information products that will serve key business verticals.

With petabytes of satellite imagery sourced from the world’s leading constellation, we are in no lack of pixels. Making sense of these pixels is the real challenge: from mapping damaged buildings during natural disasters, detecting remote settlements so that humanitarian aid can be distributed, to tracking infrastructure changes in large cities, we continuously look for innovative ways to derive actionable insight on our changing world from our imagery.
