Description (French)
Wyvern est une entreprise canadienne spécialisée dans les données satellitaires qui exploite une constellation de satellites d’observation de la Terre hyperspectraux. Ce projet soutient le développement et la validation d’algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique pour l’identification et l’analyse hyperspectrales des navires, renforçant ainsi la capacité de Wyvern à fournir des renseignements exploitables à partir d’images spatiales. Le champ d’action comprend l’application de la science des données et des techniques de télédétection pour développer des modèles de détection d’objets, de classification et de reconnaissance de formes ; l’analyse de vastes ensembles de données géospatiales ; ainsi que l’étude de nouvelles applications hyperspectrales dans divers secteurs, notamment le secteur maritime, la sylviculture, l’agriculture et la surveillance environnementale. Les travaux menés dans le cadre de ce projet font progresser l’expertise canadienne en matière d’IA spatiale et d’observation de la Terre.
