On March 6, 2024, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announced “AIRIS,” an onboard AI (artificial intelligence) object detector that uses the next-generation space MPU “SOISOC4” and enables object detection from satellite images. did.
AIRIS consists of a data processing device incorporating AI and an earth observation camera developed by Tokyo University of Science. It is a satellite-mounted device that photographs objects on Earth from orbit and uses AI to analyze the images and detect objects. Since detection processing can be performed by AI in orbit, only the area where the target object appears in the image is transmitted to the ground, and the AI that relearns on the ground sends that data to the AI in orbit and updates it. A cycle can be established.
