This is a three-step process and we provide tools that make this process easy, fast, and to the right people…fun!  Firstly, users generate labels that describe objects or features of interest specific to what they require from an analysis (e.g. health of a crop, locations of rooftop solar panels.)  Secondly, users select pixels of known ground truth objects or conditions from in-scene objects that match the labels needed from the analysis. Finally, the labels and pixels selections are processed into AI models that can be applied to orthomosiacs for analysis.  Analysis Engines can be updated as new imagery becomes available, improving their accuracy and predictability.  These Analysis Engines can be shared with those who do not want to build their own Analysis Engines, enabling Subject Matter Experts to build and deploy highly accurate analysis tools based on their expertise.

A typical Analysis Engine from a moderately experienced operator takes roughly 30minutes for pixel labeling and selection.  The average Analysis Engine is then generated in roughly 15 minutes (more time is needed for complex labels and/or high numbers of imagery bands within the image set.) Once Analysis Engines are built, average time to generate a fully analyzed product is roughly 15 minutes.

We charge a monthly subscription fee based on the user’s demand for the service and features needed to market their projects and Analysis Engines.  For the monthly charge users receive “credits” that are used to track infrastructure costs (computing resources) and we give users options to moderate their credit usage for the month.  Credit purchases are made easy if a users requires high-volume analysis.

After running and Analysis Engine over a dataset, results are stored as a Shape File with associated labels that overlay on the original imagery for interpretation.  Because Shape Files also contain geospatial information, we calculate area-coverage and percent-coverage for selected labels that describe physical space these labels occupy on the ground.  This is helpful to tract growth, trending over time, and locations of objects.  Shapefiles are available for download as well as presented in a Dashboard for online viewing of maps and geospatial statistics (plots, graphs, charts).

We have extensive documentation we’re happy to share with you.  Please contact us for links and access to the documentation.

Get paid for your experience and expertise!  That’s the point of the Marketplace.  We realize that not everyone wants to build Analysis Engines and some people have a talent for building world-class Analysis Engines.  We bring the two groups together to promote and grow the industry?!  Analysis Engine prices are Market-set and ranked according to accuracy and completeness.  Participation in the Marketplace is voluntary and all users can search for Analysis Engines built by other users, even test drive an Analysis Engine.
