Details

This system is a foundation AI model developed by Natural Resources Canada to process and represent large volumes of satellite and aerial imagery for use across federal geospatial applications. It learns how to describe Earth observation data — such as satellite images, elevation models, and sensor readings — so that other AI tools built on top of it can work more efficiently. The system is currently used by Government of Canada employees and is not disclosed to end-users as an AI system.
