Advanced image enhancements for accurate processing, exploitation, and dissemination

An object monitoring, detection, and segmentation platform, comprising:

• a computing device comprising a memory and a processor;
• a machine learning algorithm configured to perform object detection or image segmentation on an input in order to generate as output an enhanced image;
• an image processing engine comprising a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the computing device to:
• receive satellite imagery data;
• produce analysis ready data (ARD) by:
• performing image dehazing on the satellite imagery data;
• performing resolution enhancement on the satellite imagery data;
• and
• performing geospatial alignment on the satellite imagery data;
• and
• an inference engine comprising a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the computing device to:
• use the ARD as an input to the machine learning algorithm to produce an enhanced image associated with the satellite imagery data.
