AI Processing of Earth Images Can Now Run in Space
AI Processing of Earth Images Can Now Run in Space 🇺🇸 AI in Space: A New Frontier Planet Labs did it. They managed to run AI image processing directly on their Pelican-4 satellite cruising above Earth. Imagine that — identifying objects from space as they fly over landscapes without needing to send all the data back to Earth first. The satellite caught sight of an airport in Alice Springs, Australia, and picked out more than a dozen planes sitting on the runway. Each plane neatly boxed in green by an onboard AI model. It’s taken Planet Labs engineers 18 months to get here. That's a long time for tech development these days. 🇪🇸 La IA Desde el Espacio Planet Labs lo ha logrado: procesamiento de imágenes por IA directamente en su satélite Pelican-4 mientras orbita la Tierra.
