What is Earth Observation?
Earth observation is the collection and analysis of the Earth's physical, chemical and biological system, typically through technologies such as satellites, aircraft, drones and in-situ sensors. Due to the vast and diverse quantities of data collected, Earth observation makes full use of a wide spectrum of analytics technologies such as computer vision, time series analysis and machine learning to extract insights to inform decision making, optimize solutions and enable innovation.
What Sort Industries Can Earth Observation Bring Value To?
Earth observation can bring additional business value to a wide range of industries, such as agriculture, power & utilities, finance & insurance, manufacturing, tourism and logistics. For example, farms can optimize their processes to lower costs and increase harvest yields, while financial firms can hedge their risks by assessing, predicting, and responding to environmental events that might affect investments and assets.

About Us
At Natsunoyuki AI Laboratory, we are building the future of Earth observation (EO) through machine learning and satellite image analysis. We bring years of deep expertise in computer vision, machine learning and analytics consulting to this emerging field.Our members have a proven track record in solving complex visual problems across different industries. Now, we are applying that knowledge to extract value from satellite imagery and unlock new opportunities for industries ranging from environmental monitoring to urban development.We believe in moving fast, staying curious, and building things that work. Our goal is to partner with forward-thinking teams who are excited about the potential of EO data, even if they’re just starting to explore what’s possible. Let’s figure out what we can build together.
Example Use Cases
Earthquake Damage Monitoring
Monitor environment, building and infrastructure damage due to natural disasters such as earthquakes. The animations above show changes to the environment caused by earthquakes. The animation on the left shows the area around Mandalay International Airport during the 2025 Myanmar earthquake on 2025 March 28. The ground around the airport displaces upwards during the earthquake with respect to the ground on the right side of the road. The animation on the right shows the area around Kaiso Port during the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake on 2024 Jan 01. The shoreline shifts by about 250 m during the earthquake.
Forest Fire Monitoring
Monitor the spread of forest fires, as well as the extent of the damage caused to the area. The animation above shows the progress of the burn damage to the area near Tathlina Lake, Canada due to the 2024 Canadian wildfires.
Disaster Area Monitoring
Measure and estimate the area on the ground affected by disasters and events to better estimate casualties and economic losses. The figure above shows the impact of glacier collapse on the village of Blatten, Switzerland. From satellite imagery we can estimate the impacted area to be about 2.26 km2.
Precision Agriculture
Monitor crop growth and predict harvest yields from aerial and satellite imagery to better hedge against agricultural risks. The image above shows how cabbages at a farm are automatically detected and counted from an aerial photograph. With precision agriculture enabled through earth observation, farms can now better monitor crops and optimize agricultural outputs.
