Perform scalable analysis on a broad catalog of remote sensing data

The Descartes Labs geospatial processing platform helps clients answer questions about the physical world using a wide range of data types and sources. We simplify the analysis of global-scale raster data by providing:

 

  • Access to a catalog with petabytes of geospatial data—all ingested from disparate providers, normalized and composable through one common interface
  • Infrastructure to parallelize any code across thousands of machines
  • Add new data from a proprietary source or as an output from your analysis
  • A Python client library to access our systems
  • Browse the catalog and view imagery with easy-to-use web interfaces
