Title:
A cloud-based, automated surface deformation mapping framework using artificial neural networks and radar interferometry: Steps toward commercializing RADARSAT Constellation Mission data
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 9, 2021 - Dec 31, 2023
Description:
KorrAI Technologies is combining Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) with cloud computing and artificial intelligence to provide an efficient framework to automatically detect changes in surface movement. With the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) repeat interval of 4 days in Canada, KorrAI Technologies’s solution will provide near real-time, dynamic surface deformation monitoring. KorrAI Technologies proposes to commercialize the petabytes of over twenty years’ worth of historical radar data collected from the previous RADARSAT-1 mission, as well as ongoing data collected by the RCM mission, providing Canadian firms with an unprecedented level of data access and analytical capabilities.
