Pixxel
Pixxel develops advanced hyperspectral imaging satellites and offers a data platform with machine learning for various sectors, achieving global coverage every 24 hours.
Hyperspectral Imaging Satellites
Pixxel develops hyperspectral imaging satellites designed to provide global coverage every 24 hours. The hyperspectral constellation built by Pixxel beams down 10x more information compared to conventional satellites. These satellites achieve a spatial resolution of 5 meters and can revisit any global location every 24 hours, making them highly efficient for continuous monitoring.
Services and Solutions
Pixxel offers hyperspectral imagery solutions across various sectors, including agriculture, energy, environment, government, and mining. Their services encompass identifying crop species, detecting pest infestations, monitoring soil health, mapping nutrient deficiencies in agriculture, and providing solutions for oil spill detection, pipeline monitoring, hydrocarbon exploration, and vessel tracking in the energy sector. Environmental services include forest cover mapping, pollution/stress level quantification, gas concentration mapping, and vegetation detection. Governmental applications include urban infrastructure planning, road network mapping, natural disaster response, and natural resource mapping. In the mining domain, Pixxel provides services such as mineral detection, mapping geological hotspots, and preventing illegal mining.
Data and Machine Learning Platform
Pixxel provides a data platform featuring specialized machine learning algorithms for high-impact use cases and multi-dimensional visualization of satellite data. Their platform offers ready-to-deploy image processing and machine learning models tailored to rich hyperspectral datasets, enabling comprehensive data insights and effective decision-making processes for their clients.
Early Adopter Program
Pixxel operates an Early Adopter Program that provides select partners with early access to hyperspectral datasets. This initiative enables these partners to leverage Pixxel’s advanced imaging capabilities before wider public availability, allowing for advanced research and early-stage application development based on Pixxel's cutting-edge hyperspectral data.
Funding and Partnerships
Pixxel has raised a total of $61 million through a Series A funding round ($25 million) and a Series B funding round ($36 million). They collaborate with various organizations to promote and sell analytics-ready hyperspectral imagery and derived geospatial products. These partnerships are pivotal in expanding the reach and application of Pixxel's hyperspectral imaging solutions across multiple industries.
