Summary
Summary Satellite imagery has given us a new perspective on our world, but it is limited by the field of view for the cameras. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) allows for collecting images through clouds and in the dark, giving us a more consistent means of collecting data. In order to identify interesting details in such a vast amount of data it is necessary to use the power of machine learning. ICEYE has a fleet of satellites continuously collecting information about our planet. In this episode Tapio Friberg shares how they are applying ML to that data set to provide useful insights about fires, floods, and other terrestrial phenomena. Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery. Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Tapio Friberg about building machine learning applications on top of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data to generate insights about our planet Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you describe what ICEYE is and the story behind it? What are some of the applications of ML at ICEYE? What are some of the ways that SAR data poses a unique challenge to ML applications? What are some of the elements of the ML workflow that you are able to use "off the shelf" and where are the areas that you have had to build custom solutions? Can you share the structure of your engineering team and the role that the ML function plays in the larger organization? What does the end-to-end workflow for your ML model development and deployment look like? What are the operational requirements for your models? (e.g. batch execution, real-time, interactive inference, etc.) In the model definitions, what are the elements of the source…
