Metaspectral, a developer of computer vision technology for spectral analysis, is partnering with Armada, an edge computing company, to integrate Metaspectral’s computer vision capabilities into Armada’s Edge AI Marketplace. Through Armada’s edge AI marketplace, Metaspectral said that its data compression algorithms can enable real-time analysis and transmission from satellite and terrestrial sources without compromising image quality. “Through this partnership, we can bring real-time AI analysis of hyperspectral imagery to remote areas by leveraging Armada’s physical data processing and connectivity infrastructure capabilities,” said Francis Doumet, CEO and co-founder of Metaspectral. Armada offers mobile, self-contained data centers called Galleons that can be rapidly deployed to provide real-time data processing. The computing company also offers a software platform called Commander, which serves as the single portal for observability and management of all edge operations. Armada has an existing partnership with satellite internet company Starlink to bring high-bandwidth edge-computing and satellite internet connectivity to remote environments, including oil rigs, mines, and remote combat zones. “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,” said 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.”
