When did overhead images become so sexy?
For many decades, overhead images were mainly used in the defence sector. Satellites, electro-optics aerial systems and UAVs – were all very complicated, rare and expensive. Not any more!
This is the age of drones and “new-space” satellites. Overhead image acquisition is becoming easy and affordable like never before. We believe that today EVERYONE can benefit from overhead images.
For many industries – the ability to understand the situation on the ground from afar is the holy grail. It improves margins, productivity, scalability and quality. This is why we have developed AnSyn.
What’s so special about AnSyn?
From drones to satellites
AnSyn is integrated to many different providers of overhead images data, providing a unique one-stop-analysis-shop experience.
Human-Machine interaction
It’s not all about AI. It’s not all about human analysis. AnSyn refers to the human-machine interaction as a never ending tango dance. Humans feedback helps improving the AI algorithms. AI algorithms help to focus the human’s attention and to reduce the human workload.
100% browser based
Traditional image analysis and GIS tools are non-web. They are difficult to install and it takes ages for images to load. AnSyn is 100% web based, no installation is required, images are served immediately via standard web protocols.
“Expertless” experience
We believe that EVERYONE can benefit from overhead images. Traditional overhead image analysis tools were closed parties. You had to be a GIS expert or a “remote sensing” specialist to be invited. AnSyn is an open party, EVERYONE is invited.
Who can benefit from AnSyn?
Meet Jane. Jane is the operations manager of xGlobe consulting, a services company that provides farmers with data, reports and insights, trying to help them optimize their corps by adjusting their irrigation and fertilization policies. Jane’s analysts use multispectral satellites images as well as drone images for their tasks. They currently use a variety of different software packages, ranging from drone processing to GIS software. Most of them are very expensive and not so user friendly.
Switching to AnSyn, Jane’s team was able to improve their analysis capabilities, as well as their Customers' satisfaction.
Meet Bill. Bill is a 23 years old drone amateur. Bill has recently bought DJI’s Phantom 4 Pro. Whenever he can, Bill takes off and captures interesting scenes from above. Bill’s living room is packed with hard drives, and he spends a lot of time organizing his data into folders.
AnSyn for Bill is a savior. Bill uses it to upload his drone images to the cloud, search and view them. For Bill, Ansyn acts like his “drone data dropbox” - with unique feature designed for his needs such as georeferncing and space/time queries.
Meet Kira. Kira is the Chief Data Scientist of AlgoLight - an AI company that builds a unique “AutoML”, automatic machine learning, platform. AlgoLight has just closed a $15M fundraising round, and decided to add overhead images support to its AutoML product. Kira now needs to create a huge dataset containing hundreds of thousands of objects, tagged on different types of overhead images. This dataset will allow her team to train deep neural networks models and add them to the platform.
Kira has chosen to use AnSyn as her tagging platform. This decision has saved Kira and her team many hours and much money otherwise spent on integrating to different data providers and developing tagging software that is overhead imagery supportive.
Meet Jayesh. Jayesh is a mapper by soul and heart. Since he was a child he loved creating maps. Two years ago Jayesh discovered OSM (Open Street Map) - the wikipedia of maps data. Jayesh loves to sample new roads, new buildings and to validate other OSM enthusiasts work.
Since discovering AnSyn, Jayesh can sample OSM data from the most updated and high resolution overhead images!
