GeoNadir

At GeoNadir we are creating the most detailed map of the planet ever possible using crowdsourced drone data. We process and manage these data on our cloud-based platform (https://data.geonadir.com/), making our central repository available to users around the world under FAIR data principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). In return for freely hosting and providing basic data processing services to users, our revenue model focuses on providing automated knowledge as a service to government and corporate organisations. With our vast data inputs (>40,000 drone images) we are growing an extensive library of ‘tagged’ features from a high-resolution aerial perspective that has not been previously available. These tags will feed deep learning models to automatically map environmental features, identify environmental change, and provide situational awareness for autonomous systems approaching any location from above (e.g. flying drones compared to road or track vehicles). We will therefore be able to report on environmental assets, natural capital accounting, and ecosystem change at a local level while baselining globally. This technology has the ability to support agile command and control through advanced scene understanding, support autonomous edge sensors, and enhance human-machine interdependence in operational environments.
