Tools based on sensor noise model to improve machine learning & MLOps

Synthetic data generation

Reliably emulate different acquisition modalities (less intensity, higher exposure, etc) in real-life environments, by generating images that follow the same distribution albeit with statistically correct variations.

Dataset quality assurance

Prevent systematic bias in data distribution that degrades ML models, as Dotphoton adds robustness to data changes in illumination, magnification, and other sensor parameters.

Data traceability

Track images based on the generation of the metadata to improve data accessibility.

“With the world relying on remote sensing satellite data, there’s a paradigm shift from ‘raw data delivery’ to ‘information delivery’. But those daily petabytes come at a high cost.

Dotphoton preserves the image quality of our data while attaining high compression ratios, which was only possible with high information loss in the past. This allows storing full information, and processing it faster”
