KaleidEO leads edge computing in space

15 Sep 2023 CW Team

KaleidEO, the Indian subsidiary of SatSure Analytics based in Bengaluru, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully implementing edge computing technology in space. This achievement marks a groundbreaking moment as it enabled the generation of actionable insights from an image captured by an orbiting satellite in real time.

Edge computing is a technological approach that allows data to be processed and analyzed at its source, whether it's on a factory floor, within a utility system, in a smart city environment, at a retail store, or, in the case of KaleidEO, even in outer space. Unlike the conventional method where raw data is transmitted to a central data center for subsequent processing and analysis, edge computing enables immediate on-site analysis.

This successful demonstration not only showcases KaleidEO's expertise in analysing satellite imagery in the space environment but also serves as a catalyst for their ambitious plans. They intend to launch four Lower Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites equipped with edge computing capabilities into space in 2025.

Rashmit Singh Sukhmani, the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of SatSure, commented on this achievement, saying, "This capability will empower us to address national security requirements, enhance real-time disaster response capabilities for governments, and revolutionise the entire process of collecting, processing, analyzing, and transmitting imagery and insights derived from satellite data."

KaleidEO has developed edge algorithms designed for various applications, including cloud detection, identification of road networks and building footprints, water-body detection, and image template matching for change detection.

Nagpur Station Redevelopment Deadline Extended To March 2027

Nagpur Railway Station redevelopment has been rescheduled to March 2027 as officials opted for a cautious approach to minimise disruption at the busy terminus. The project had earlier been due for completion in December 2026 but work at a live station while preserving the heritage character of the building has slowed progress. The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) said construction sequencing is being adjusted to maintain passenger services. The DRM provided an update on Ajni Railway Station, stating its redevelopment timeline has been revised to October 2026 instead of the earlier target of c..

Railway Push Boosts Connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir

An accelerated push to expand railway infrastructure is reshaping connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir, with Indian Railways leading an extensive programme of new lines, stations and engineering works. Officials described the effort as aimed at linking remote areas to major trade and transport corridors and at reducing travel time for passengers and freight. The programme incorporates complex tunnelling and bridge construction to negotiate challenging terrain and to provide year round access. Administrative sources indicated that coordination with central and local agencies has been intensified t..
