Lockheed Martin is using GBDX to build new commercial offerings with a focus on extracting precision coordinates and creating 3D maps on country and continent scales. Video Inform is integrating deep learning algorithms with other machine learning approaches to create its Visual Profiler solution, which detects, interprets and classifies objects of interest in satellite imagery in a short period of time, delivering actionable information for market and business intelligence products. Finally, PrecisionHawk is developing a 3D ground-obstacle database using satellite imagery on GBDX to create a drone air traffic control system with the hopes of safely integrating commercial and consumer drones in the crowded U.S. airspace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed \u2026 to improving the user experience through intuitive [Application Programming Interfaces] APIs and additional integrated, off-the-shelf tools that will continue to expand the platform\u2019s appeal to an even broader set of users,\u201d said Shay Har-Noy, DigitalGlobe\u2019s vice president and general manager of platform.<\/p>\n<p>DigitalGlobe also announced that its WorldView-4 satellite successfully completed in-orbit testing and calibration and began serving its first direct access customer on Feb. 1.
