Tessera, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, offers high-accuracy datasets that encode what the satellite ‘sees’ of Earth’s surface during the course of a year. This compressed data can be used by the scientific community to generate information-rich maps.
Crucially, the encoded datasets – embeddings – use far less data than the pixellated images that are downlinked from satellites. A variety of applications are supported by the model, from monitoring agricultural crops to measuring areas burnt by fire and forest canopies.
This image shows an ‘embedding’ from Tessera, focusing on Cambridge, UK.
