27 How Do We Make That Scale? data compute

28 The Geospatial Big Data Platform ( GBDX ) DigitalGlobe Data & Algorithms GBDX Location Intelligence Partner Data & Algorithms Other Commercial & Open Sources Subscription Access to extract location intelligence at high speed & massive scale 32

29 SWIMMING POOLS DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL ROOF MATERIALS BUILDING POLYGONS ROOF COMPLEXITY TREE HEIGHT SOLAR PANELS ROOF HEIGHT LULC If the idea has value even a small company can perform analysis at the national or global scale

30 Object Detection to support Airport & Aircraft monitoring DigitalGlobe internally develop capability specializing in detection of aircraft at an airfield 100% automated, no man in the loop Over 1M sqkm of airfields processed using GBDX, DigitalGlobe imagery and DigitalGlobe aircraft detection algorithm

31 Ship Detection DigitalGlobe partner SpaceKnow specializing in detection of maritime vessels from DigitalGlobe imagery 100% automated, no man in the loop Over 1M sqkm of ports processed using GBDX, DigitalGlobe imagery and SpaceKnow ship detection Application #1: Object Detection /27/2017

32 Car Detection DigitalGlobe partner Video inform specializing in detection of dynamic objects (such as cars) from DigitalGlobe imagery 100% automated, no man in the loop Encounters challenges with HVAC units, shadowed streets Projects performed on border areas, retail areas to estimate foot traffic for stores

33 Building Footprints DigitalGlobe partner Ecopia specializing in detection and extraction of building footprints from DigitalGlobe imagery Detection of features >3m M-1.5M buildings per week 11/27/2017

34 3D extraction/height extraction DigitalGlobe partners NTT, Harris and Istria/Grupo Revenga specialize in the creation of 3D information from.5m GSD, 3m LE90, 3m CE90 (Absolute), 1m LE90, 2m CE90 (Relative) Production of DSM and DEM at 10s of thousand of sqkm in days/weeks Height attribution to footprints possible Ground elevation Eave Height Peak Height Further 3D detail possible with Istria 11/27/2017

35 Road Density/Probability Estimation DigitalGlobe partner CrowdAI specializes in detection of roads from DigitalGlobe imagery 100% automated Accuracy metrics currently under development Detection of road features based on input target areas of interest Can scale to meet country scale needs effort required in up front training of the system

36 City Scale Change Detection DigitalGlobe partner MDA specializes in detection of change from MDA Radarsat-2 data 100% automated Detection of changes highly tailored to target features of interest Can scale to meet monitoring efforts with a 24 day refresh

37 Population Detection & Mapping DigitalGlobe developed capability to detect settlements in developing nations fully automated Recent Project: 1.2M sqkm processed in 2 hours ~1-2 weeks to collect necessary input training data and to perform accuracy assessment 11/27/

38 Coastline Detection & Extraction DigitalGlobe partner Blue Cham specializes in extraction of coastline polylines from DigitalGlobe multispectral imagery semi automated No accuracy metrics developed to date One recent project: 1TB of imagery collected over 7 years processed to create 1000km of coastline in 1 week

39 Land Cover Mapping DigitalGlobe has developed a series of methods to perform land cover mapping semi automated and fully automated Automated tools can be applied at a very high scale Semi automated tools are dependent on human operators

40 GBDX is an Ecosystem U.S. Government

41 In Summary GBDX Create location intelligence from satellite imagery at massive scale Automate monitoring of areas of interest Effectiveness multiplier for analysis staff Ecosystem provides best in class algorithms from industry partners 45
