\nPlanet Announces AI Partnerships at GEOINT 2023<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Planet Labs PBC<\/a> (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about Earth, today announced new strategic partnerships with artificial intelligence (AI) analytics providers at the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation\u2019s 2023 GEOINT Symposium. These companies\u2019 AI-powered analytics enable object detection and classification services on top of Planet\u2019s high-frequency, medium- and high-resolution satellite data. Automated analytics are core to helping our customers better understand change and make critical decisions faster.<\/p>\n

Rapid Automatic Image Categorization with Synthetaic<\/b><\/p>\n

\nWisconsin-based AI startup Synthetaic<\/a> joined the Planet Orbit<\/a> partnership program in April 2023. Their signature product, RAIC (Rapid Automatic Image Categorization), automates the analysis of large, unstructured datasets like geospatial imagery so even a non-technical user can detect objects in minutes, or train and deploy AI models radically faster than traditional approaches and without labeled data.<\/p>\n

\nThrough this partnership, customers are now able to obtain Synthetaic RAIC object detection analytics on top of a defined area of interest (AOI) within Planet data. The companies also plan to develop a combined offering that aims to enable additional alerting capabilities when change occurs or specific objects are detected within focus areas.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhen faced with an issue of commercial or national security importance, there\u2019s no time to label and analyze huge swaths of data,\u201d said Kevin Weil, Planet\u2019s President of Product and Business. \u201cThis partnership will enable Synthetaic to RAIC Planet\u2019s imagery and archive to deliver broad area search and daily monitoring of activity that can provide necessary information to industry and government analysts and decision-makers quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSynthetaic previously leveraged<\/a> Planet\u2019s daily scan and archive data to identify and trace the flightpath back-to-origin of a massive Chinese balloon<\/a> that captured national attention when it flew across North America in February. They also used Planet data for disaster response and aid distribution modeling after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey and Syria in February 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cInitially finding the Chinese balloon was the ultimate needle in a haystack,\u201d said Synthetaic CEO Corey Jaskolski. \u201cIt shows what RAIC can do, and we look forward to working with Planet and our collective customers to identify what other needles can be detected and monitored regularly on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nTwo demonstrations of these object detection capabilities \u2013 identification of airstrips and launchpads in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the pair\u2019s previous collaboration to identify and track the Chinese balloon \u2013 will be on display at Planet\u2019s Booth #1201 and Synthetaic\u2019s Booth #1810 throughout the Symposium dates.<\/p>\n

Image enhancement and GeoAI analytics with SI Analytics<\/b><\/p>\n

\nPlanet also announced a new partnership with Deajeon, South Korea-based startup SI Analytics<\/a>, which applies AI-powered Super Resolution and GeoAI Analytics, Object Detection\/Segmentation algorithms, to satellite imagery in order to enhance the resolution to analyze changes and abnormalities for the areas of interest (AOI) with its GeoAI Pack.<\/p>\n

\nSI Analytics intends to use Planet and other satellite operator data in its private sector abnormality detection initiative program. Set to launch at the Symposium today, SI Analytics announced its initiative to develop a North Korea Dynamic BMOA (Ballistic Missile Operation Area) Search Project with a goal to enhance global risk management and mitigate tensions in Asia and beyond. Leveraging satellites\u2019 high-revisit capabilities, they plan to enable the monitoring of global risks in near real-time, detecting and disclosing abnormalities using their GeoAI Pack.<\/p>\n

Value in Using AI with Earth Observation Data<\/b><\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe believe proprietary data is where the real value is in the AI race,\u201d said Weil. \u201dWe have 50 petabytes of satellite data to train our own and partners\u2019 AI and machine learning models that can be used for cases like building damage assessment, vessel detection, preventative mitigation of deforestation, and more.<\/p>\n

\nBolstering Planet\u2019s own AI and ML Road & Building Detection tool<\/a>, a number of the company\u2019s partners offer solutions focused on AI and ML. A couple of those include:<\/p>\n
