ENVI Inform automatically monitors wide areas by processing and analyzing large volumes of data, extracting actionable information, and publishing the results to Mayday.ai Land Guardian platform.
Using archives hosted by ESA, the Alaska Satellite Facility and Amazon, NV5 Geospatial hosted industry-leading ENVI® and ENVI SARscape® analytics on ENVI Inform to create an historical baseline that identified changes in forested areas. As new multispectral and SAR satellite data is collected and made available, ENVI Inform automatically retrieves the data and processes it, generating fully updated results within hours of acquisition. The processing results are appended to previous outputs to identify temporal changes compared to the historical baseline. Updates are published to the Mayday.ai Land Guardian platform which combines them with additional data sources via its agnostic AI engine, providing users with an on-demand, event-centric solution.

Utilizing ENVI Inform, Mayday.ai has successfully created an automated monitoring service to identify deforestation activities across Chile. The benefits of ENVI Inform are that once an area of interest (AOI) is identified, information can be updated in near-real time and published to Mayday’s Land Guardian platform, which enables forestry analysts to compare the results with other data sources and make better-informed and more timely decisions.
