Metaspectral, Armada to use edge computing to bring AI analysis to remote regions
Metaspectral and Armada have joined forces in a collaboration that will utilize Armada’s knowledge in edge computing, connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI) to enable real-time analysis of hyperspectral imagery in remote areas.
The partnership’s focus on hyperspectral imaging technology aims to open up new possibilities for industries such as oil and gas, mining, and military applications. The company says that by harnessing the power of hyperspectral imagery, organizations can detect pipeline leaks, monitor vegetation health, identify mineral compositions, and enhance surveillance and detection capabilities in military operations.
Francis Doumet, CEO and co-founder of Metaspectral, emphasizes the significance of this partnership in bringing advanced AI analysis to remote regions through the utilization of Armada’s physical infrastructure capabilities. “Hyperspectral imagery captured by remote cameras and drones can offer high impact decision-making support with the level of detail it provides,” Doumet adds.
Armada’s collaboration with Starlink further enhances connectivity options in remote environments, in a bid to ensure high-bandwidth edge computing and satellite internet connectivity for various industries. The integration of Metaspectral’s computer vision capabilities into Armada’s edge AI marketplace creates a platform for AI solutions and applications, facilitating real-time analysis and transmission of data without compromising quality.
“Hyperspectral imagery can be used in the oil and gas sector to detect pipeline leaks, monitor vegetation health, and identify hydrocarbon reservoirs. Similarly, mining companies can use it for mineral identification, prospecting support, and monitoring environmental impacts such as soil erosion, vegetation health, and water quality,” says Migel Tissera, CTO and co-founder of Metaspectral.
“Hyperspectral imagery also has extensive military applications, including surveillance, detection, and identification of hidden objects, terrain assessment, and more.”
Additionally, the partnership seeks to help organizations across critical industries with real-time insights and analytics, by combining Armada’s edge infrastructure with Metaspectral’s computer vision technology.
“With Armada’s expertise in AI-powered solutions and Edge Infrastructure, combined with Metaspectral’s cutting-edge computer vision capabilities, we see a tremendous opportunity to help organizations unlock the power of real-time insights and advanced analytics to drive business growth and innovation,” adds Uday Tennety, VP of product management at Armada.
“We look forward to ensuring our joint customers across critical industries are able to glean actionable insights from their data, optimize processes to prioritize agility and precision, and streamline operations.”
Founded in 2018 as a cloud storage platform that compressed and optimized any uploaded photo, Metaspectral now delivers computer vision, capable of remotely identifying materials and determining their chemical composition, defects, and other properties otherwise invisible to conventional cameras.
Last year, Armada secured over $55 million to tackle global digital inequality and redefine the future of connectivity, compute and AI.
