BlackSky's Smartflow is a cloud-based system that processes diverse geospatial data into standardized formats for scalable analysis and model training. It also supports a new neural network to detect heavy construction across large areas using satellite data.

Why it matters: Smartflow enables efficient large-scale geospatial research and model development over vast regions and time periods.

The big picture: Integrating open-source tools with Kubernetes allows scalable, flexible workflows for spatiotemporal geospatial analysis.

Stunning stat: The novel neural model successfully detects heavy construction through all major development phases.

Quick takeaway: Smartflow standardizes heterogeneous data into datacubes and manages experiments for advanced geospatial monitoring applications.
