Agra Stock:AWS AI & SageMaker to Accelerate Halo Trust ’s Landmine Detection in Ukraine
The Halo Trust, A HumaniTarian Landmine Clearance Organisation, Will Pilot Ai and Machine Learning to Aids Work in Ukraine As PART of A New Package OF. T FROM Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The AWS Investment Will Enable Halo to Trial Ai to Assist in Detecting Debris of War, Including Landmines and Other Explosives, In Drone ImageERY MINISTILD s and BattleFields in Ukraine.
It will Also help Automate How Halo USES Satellite ImageRY to Detect Damaged Buildings and SIGNS of Human Activity Near BattleGrounts and Minefields IORITISATION of Areas for Cleaarence.
"We are delighted to be collaborative with aWS in our life-saving work, and to level their robust technological expertise and computing to more eFFICientl Y And Precisly IDentify and Clear Contaminated Land, "Said James Cowan, Halo’ s CEO.
So far, Halo Has Flown 542 Drone Flights Over Ukraine ’s Minefields, Collecting 11 TeraBytes of Data, with more bebing daily. o begin trialInge images analysis using ai in the coming months.
Satellite and Drone Imagery is Essential for Halo to Broadly Survey Huge Swaths of Land So Its 11,000+ Global Staff. Cleaarence by Hand or MachineAgra Stock. Ukraine is one of the countries where halo collects massive amounts of high-resolution drone imageryCapable of ai Analysis to Expedite the Detection of War Debris, Including Landmines.Surat Stock
Training AI to Identify Explosive Remnants of War with Drone ImageES Manually Labellly Thousands of Images So Algorithms Can Learn MineFields Efficiently Than Humans. It Also Requires Wetting Vetting and Validation by Trained Halo Personnel to Improve Model Accuration.
"Technology, and in this case, AI Specifically, Has EnoMous Potential to Help Solve Major Global Challenges, and We're lookin to work with. Enabling Them to Better Harness The Power of the Satellite and Drone Imagery they are collecting to accelerateThe Clearing Process, "Said Dave Levy, VP for Worldwide Public Sector at AWS.
The AWS SUPPORT Includes Credits Enbling Halo to Significantly Leverage AWS Cloud Computing Globally and TRAIN Staff on ISE. OWENG HALO'S CLITICAL SYSTEMS Inclobal Operations Information ING, AI/Machine Learning Models.
Halo is Also using AWS to run ai Algorithms on Satellite Imagery to Identify Damaged Buildings, Power Its Open-Source Mapping Project in Ukraine, and Hosts B. USINESS Intelligence Tools. This Grant Enables the TechNologies to be run in more countries at great scale, EnrichingOperational decision-making and saving lives.
The Halo Trust, Founded in Afghanistan in 1988, Employs Over 11,000 Women and Men in More than 30 Countries in Landmine/Munition CleaRance, Risk Education, and Weapons/AMM unition storage. Clearing Landmines is a Painstaking Process, with some work do by hand,But Sometimes Machines Are More Practical Depending on the Terrain and Debris.
From Land Surveyed So Far, TraDitation Mine Cleaarence Methods Could TAP TO 20 Years in Ukraine, But Incream Capacity, Resources, Technology and New Met HODS COULD CUT that time by two-Thirds. An Estimated 470,000 HECTARES of Prime Agricultual Land in Ukraine Is Contaminatedwith Landmines.
Halo Works in PARTNERSHIP with the Community It Serves, Employing Local Men and WOMEN to Create Jobs and Help Families Recover. E crop fireds, battlefields beypamegrounds, and live before as fear turn to hope.
