New geospatial data startup streamlines satellite imagery visualization
Fused, a new startup from some Uber mapping veterans, is building a platform to make it easier to visualize data coming off of satellites.
A couple of former Uber engineers, Sina Kashuk and Isaac Brodsky, who helped build the mapping system at Uber, decided to put their knowledge to work on the problem, and what they’ve come up with is a fast, serverless-based product that takes advantage of some open source tooling they’ve built to get that data from the source and into apps where it can be put to work. Specifically, the founders saw the maturation of serverless computing, where the vendor can handle all of the back end infrastructure, as an opportunity to help customers process this data and put it to use faster and more efficiently. This part is open source enabling the community to create these templates, such as crop yields, and then using other pieces of the Fused platform, they can begin to break down the data such as the amount of wheat produced by U.S. state or any geographical area you wish.
