ABOUT US

SO WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? – ACCURATE OBJECT CLASSIFICATION…NOT JUST DETECTION, MAKES US VERY DIFFERENT

We are the industry leaders in object detection and classification using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery, in fact we are SAR experts. We go beyond object detection, providing near real-time 90% accurate object classification.

Founded in 2012, Satim quickly partnered with the European Space Agency. ESA funded many research and development projects with a particular focus on object detection. We are now the creators, owners, and curators of Satrec, our world-leading automatic object detection and classification software.

In our unique solution, we use synthetic SAR data to train AI models. 

These synthetic data are generated in our SAR simulator developed by SATIM under two contracts with ESA.

Thanks to it we can generate simulated SAR signatures of any 3D object and any SAR system.

Using synthetic SAR signatures to train our AI model, we overcome the main limitation of using AI for object detection on SAR images i.e. lack of labelled training SAR data. 

Thanks to OREC we have the capabilities to provide near real time, accurate classification of vessels and objects on the open sea, in port and on land.

Our Satim team includes data scientists, remote sensing experts, AI and SAR specialists and ex-military personnel with a wealth of knowledge and experience. We apply our extensive experience in civil and military maritime monitoring with particular focus on dark vessels.
