The successful software developer and engineer Tom Keane believes that the new developments will help customers explore new possibilities in a way they could never have achieved before.

 

He explained that researchers can now use high-resolution images, videos, and other data to understand business needs more clearly and in ways they may have never been able to. This is all thanks to the new capabilities of Azure Space that have enabled customers to achieve more with satellite data by using advanced computer vision and geospatial tools, and artificial intelligence for advanced analytics. And it is all led by Tom Keane.

The Azure Space team has achieved remarkable milestones after conducting several experiments involving high-resolution satellite images of Earth and space and data from multiple sources that had been captured in real-time. According to Tom Keane, the team collected various data sets that are now available for research, construction, and other applications.
