The main challenge
Huge amount of data derived (automatically) from Earth
Observation fused with others for providing information
directly integrated into business workflows
(Airbus D&S, E-Geos, Planet, Digital Globe, MDA, Black Sky,
Urthecast,...open sources, social media, reports, analyses,…)
Constellations,…25cm Resolution/20mn in 2020

Artificial Intelligence as an essential leverage
Not programming computers anymore but showing them examples
• Large quantities of examples
• High computation performances necessary
Machine learning is based on mathematics, probabilities and
statistics.
2 flavors:
• supervised (you know what your samples mean),
applications: classification, detection, regression
• unsupervised (you want to make sense of the meaning of
your samples), applications: clustering, anomaly
detections
Define an approximation function between inputs
and expected outputs by learning parameters through
large datasets

11
What applications for SatCen ?
- Computer vision: detection of objects from Satellite Imagery, from
internet imagery, face detection and identification,
- Natural language processing: identification of topics from social
media, clustering of data, assisted editing of analysis,
- Cybersecurity: anomaly detection on web portals usage, clustering of
servers
- Predictive models on ships movement, refugee etc.

12
First and foremost: NEED understanding
• Accessing relevant DATA/INFORMATION, in a timely
manner, at the best possible cost
• « PARTNERSHIP » with EO services providers
• Focusing on and analysing only pertinent areas
(irregular activities and change detection) « from pixel to
information »
• Reaching « END-USERS » in due time

13
GIS as an essential leverage
• To ease analyst work: Advanced services using Big Data and
Deep Learning
• To share Geospatial Information services through Open
Standards
• To develop tools to import, process, visualize, distribute data
• To take into account the 3D and Virtual reality
• GIS Security and Defence oriented

14
Orientations to consider
• Mastering steps from sensors to end-users
• Changing the pace and way of doing business (e.g. ICT
services, processing, dissemination, storage)
• Accelerating business value (e.g. network of platforms,
analytics, operational GIS)
• SatCen contribution: 24-year of direct interface with
end-users (applications/services)
• Cooperation amongst key actors in the Space and
Security domain such as EC, EU entities, ESA, GEO,
Industry has to be furthered
