The leader in hyperspectral image analysis, Geospatial Technology Associates (GTA), and SkyFi, the global geospatial hub, are happy to announce their new relationship. Through this partnership, SkyFi’s analytics platform will incorporate GTA’s cutting-edge hyperspectral technology, giving users additional capabilities in lithium and mineral detection, with more to come.
GTA contributes decades of experience to this relationship and is well-known for its hyperspectral image analysis and large spectral library. Their technique is able to precisely identify materials based on their distinct spectral signatures by processing data over a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Although this technology is not new, it is being made commercially available in this manner for the first time.
The new products from SkyFi include Targeted Lithium, Ammonia, Boron, and General Mineral Detection, which provides comprehensive data on material abundance and location using GTA’s patented techniques. These instruments improve decision-making in renewable energy, mining, and environmental monitoring. Furthermore, SkyFi provides Custom Material Detection. A key component of these services is an expanding collection of spectral signatures for accurate mineral identification. Currently, users can use their own hyperspectral data; integrated satellite data will soon be accessible.
In the vicinity of launch, SkyFi is BYOD, so users can use SkyFi’s analytics if they already have hyperspectral data. SkyFi intends to increase the number of hyperspectral satellites it launches in order to provide more complete data solutions.
“Hyperspectral analysis is now much simpler because to our integration of GTA’s unique catalogue. In the future, we hope to offer hyperspectral data from space,” stated Payton Barnwell, Product Manager for SkyFi Analytics.
