SatSure Mentioned as a Sample Provider in the 2024 Gartner® Emerging Tech: Maximize the Impact of Generative AI in Computer Vision Report

In a recent Gartner report titled Emerging Tech: Maximize the Impact of Generative AI in Computer Vision, SatSure is mentioned as one of the Sample Providers in the Synthetic Data for Computer Vision category. In this brief article, we will explain how SatSure’s innovative synthetic data solutions address critical challenges in AI and machine learning development for real world problems.

The scarcity of diverse real-world data has been a bottleneck for advancements in AI, particularly in computer vision (CV). Traditional methods of data collection are costly and time-consuming, involving extensive manual labeling and equipment. 

A key benefit of synthetic data is its ability to scale quickly, adapting to the changing demands of CV projects. For customer-facing industries, the ability to create extensive, labeled datasets without the need for real-world data collection dramatically reduces costs while enhancing the performance of AI-driven applications.

About SatSure’s GenAI Application in Cygnus

SatSure’s cutting-edge approach to synthetic data generation or reconstructing the data from an alternate modality, particularly through solutions like SatSure Cygnus, not only automates this process but also ensures that data availability be significantly enhanced in the absence of high quality data.

By leveraging Generative AI that transforms SAR data into corresponding optical imagery – SatSure provides the necessary data availability for robust, accurate, and scalable training of CV models in crop monitoring, land monitoring and other similar monitoring use cases despite the presence of clouds/bad weather.

SatSure Cygnus, a patented product, eliminates the cloud cover issue in Earth Observation (EO) data by reconstructing optical imagery using SAR data with AI and ML capabilities. With NVIDIA’s GPU computing power – including on-premise L40S and cloud-based A100, and Triton Inference Server – Cygnus processes large-scale EO data rapidly, improving data usability by 99%, while maintaining a spectral deviation of less than 5%.

SatSure’s synthetic data solutions, including Cygnus, are being applied across industries, enabling advancements in tasks such as object detection, semantic segmentation, and image classification. By simulating edge cases and rare scenarios, SatSure’s innovations support availability of data during various use cases starting from crop monitoring, vegetation management, land monitoring, crop classification etc, providing a cost effective and scalable alternative to the real world data availability. 

For an instance – In the diverse geographic landscape of Brazil and many developing countries in South East Asia (SEA) and Latin America (LatAm), cloud cover frequently obstructs satellite imagery, creating significant challenges for Earth Observation (EO) analysis. This issue can render vital data from specific tiles of land unusable, thus impeding accurate environmental and agricultural monitoring. Optical EO satellite data often fails to deliver insights during high cloud cover seasons, resulting in a critical need for continuous, cloud-free optical data for sectors like vegetation management and route optimization (VM and RO).

At SatSure, innovation is about solving industry challenges through Earth Observation data and data-driven insights. We think, being mentioned in the 2024 Gartner report validates our approach to synthetic data and underscores our commitment to advancing AI and machine learning capabilities across industries.
