Azercosmos has launched Platerra, an artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to automatically analyse satellite imagery and turn it into geospatial information that can support decision-making across a range of applications.
Platerra combines Earth observation data with artificial intelligence to automate key stages of satellite imagery analysis. By reducing the need for fully manual interpretation, the platform enables users to extract relevant information from imagery more quickly and efficiently.
The platform currently offers AI-powered capabilities for satellite image enhancement, forest area detection, measurement of water body surface areas, object detection, and the delineation of agricultural field boundaries. These tools help turn complex satellite imagery into practical information that can be used for monitoring, analysis and planning.
The launch comes amid growing international interest in geospatial artificial intelligence, or GeoAI, as organisations seek more efficient ways to process increasing volumes of Earth observation data. AI-based analysis can help make satellite-derived information more accessible and easier to apply in both operational and strategic decision-making.
For Azercosmos, Platerra marks another step in combining space-based data with artificial intelligence technologies. The platform is designed to expand the practical use of satellite imagery, improve access to processed geospatial information, and support faster, data-driven decision-making. Azercosmos plans to continue developing Platerra by expanding its analytical capabilities and adding new applications in response to evolving user needs. The broader goal is to make satellite-derived information easier to interpret and use while strengthening the role of artificial intelligence across geospatial and satellite data services.
