Spanning three years of featuring five unique datasets and challenges, SpaceNet® continues to apply various aspects of machine learning to solve difficult foundational mapping problems. Looking ahead, Payam Banazadeh, Founder & CEO of Capella Space, joins IQT CosmiQ’s Ryan Lewis and Jake Shermeyer to discuss the SpaceNet 6 Challenge which explores an under-explored modality of data: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The trio provide an overview on the importance of SAR data and its value in the upcoming challenge.
