Black Shark AI: Creating a 3D Digital Twin of the Earth
Black Shark AI, a startup born out of gaming studio Bongfish, has developed mapping software that creates a full 3D digital twin of the Earth using satellite imagery. The platform uses AI to extract detailed information from the images, allowing for accurate mapping and identification of various features on the planet's surface. The software has applications for government city planners and other industries. It offers a more sophisticated and machine-readable alternative to traditional mapping methods like Google Maps, which relies on human interpretation of satellite and aerial images. The company has also developed an annotation tool called Orca Hunter, which allows users to label images and train the AI model for object detection. Black Shark AI is commercializing its software as a SaaS tool, making it accessible to a wider range of users and industries.
