California: NVIDIA on Wednesday launched world’s first Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerated geospatial intelligence platform called “NVIDIA GeoInt Accelerator”. The platform offers tools that enable faster processing of high-resolution satellite imagery, facial recognition in surveillance video, combat mission planning using geographic information system (GIS) data, and object recognition in video collected by drones.
NVIDIA GeoInt Accelerator platform will include key applications for companies such as DigitalGlobe for
processing more than three million square kilometers of high-resolution imagery collected daily by satellites for current intelligence on points of interest, GeoWeb 3D for native 3D GIS fusion without preprocessing, Imagus for real-time facial recognition from video surveillance), IntuVision Panoptes for object detection and event-driven alerts by processing multiple real-time HD video streams, LuciadLightspeed for situational awareness for mission planning by overlaying image, radar, sensor data for line-of-sight analysis, and NerVve Technologies for detecting objects in images and video streams.
