Job Description

OUR VISION

At EarthDaily Analytics we strive to build a more sustainable planet by creating innovative solutions that combine satellite imagery of the Earth, modern software engineering, machine learning, and cloud computing to help solve the world\xe2\x80\x99s toughest challenges in agriculture, water management, forestry, carbon capture verification and more. Our focus has been on building the world\xe2\x80\x99s most advanced satellite image processing pipelines capable of delivering automated, reliable, meaningful analytics from our customers\xe2\x80\x99 satellites and our own as well as a next generation Earth observation platform. Our belief is that insights can only be as good as the data itself and we pride ourselves on generating the highest quality data products in the industry.

EarthMosaics is one of our core services that automatically generates Analysis Ready Mosaics, allowing our customers to access large scale seamless composite images with artifacts and clouds removed. These mosaics are designed to power ML driven applications with highly accurate geometry (location) and radiometry (colour). Our Analysis Ready Mosaics are generated with advanced mathematical models, cutting-edge computer vision techniques, and high-performance distributed processing.
