Satellite imagery analytics have numerous human development and disaster response applications, particularly when time series methods are involved. The Multi-Temporal Urban Development SpaceNet 7 Challenge focuses on developing novel computer vision methods for non-video time series data, asking participants to identify and track buildings in satellite imagery time series collected over rapidly urbanizing areas. In this episode, CosmiQ’s Ryan Lewis, Adam Van Etten, and Daniel Hogan are joined by Planet’s Jesus Martinez Manzo and AWS Disaster Response’s Grace Kitzmiller to explore this new challenge.
