Collaboration announcement

The Picterra AI-platform will enable the Flying Labs to easily detect and extract objects from aerial images and transform them into a variety of geospatial information products.

We are thrilled to announce a new collaboration step in our partnership with WeRobotics.
Picterra adds an AI-analytic layer to support the Flying Labs in their mission of accelerating and scaling local drones-for-social good solutions in emerging economies.

Flying Labs’ members currently work on a broad and diverse range of projects, from helping farmers set property boundaries in Tanzania and monitoring forest health in Kenya to assessing tsunami preparedness in the South Pacific.

The Picterra AI-platform will enable the Flying Labs to easily detect and extract objects from aerial images and transform them into a variety of geospatial information products.

As of today, 21 regional Flying Labs have gained access to the benefits of the Pro plan on the Picterra platform.

The development of West Africa, whether it is humanitarian, social, environmental, or other, will depend very much on how we integrate AI and data. Picterra’s contribution to the results is already invaluable.” Tiamiyou RADJI, Senegal Flying Labs

We are delighted to support the Flying Labs. In their hands, the latest breakthrough in Geospatial Artificial Intelligence meets the power of local engagement. We believe ensuring local communities to be able to automate geospatial information extraction autonomously will translate into positive social and environmental impact.” Frank de Morsier, CTO, Picterra

We are looking forward to seeing how the Flying Labs will use our platform to power impactful projects helping their local communities.
Welcome aboard!
