clear_ brings AI-powered data processing directly onboard satellites, transforming raw optical and radar imagery into usable insight before it reaches the ground. By pruning noise, detecting features, and compressing data on orbit, clear_ reduces bandwidth needs, cuts latency, and unlocks real-time value for EO missions.

Designed for next-gen EO pipelines
Earth Observation is scaling fast higher revisit, larger constellations, better sensors. But satellites still send enormous volumes of raw data to ground, where bottlenecks, latency, and bandwidth limitations slow everything down.

useless downlink avoided through pruning & compression
clear_ shifts intelligence to orbit
It processes, filters, enhances, and compresses EO data onboard, enabling missions to deliver less noise, more information, and faster decisions.
Built as a modular, mission-ready capability, clear_ powers both optical and radar payloads with tailored pipelines that adapt to sensor characteristics, hardware constraints, and mission goals.

From raw frames to clean insights
1
Align & Analyse
Sensor data is normalized to mission formats, modes, and parameters.
2
Filter & Preprocess
Noise, clouds, and low-quality data are pruned early to reduce workload.
3
Detect & Extract
AI models identify objects, events, or scene elements; build segmentation maps; and extract mission-driven metadata.
4
Compress & Deliver
Outputs are compressed and enriched with metadata, optimizing downlink and speeding up ground workflows.
The full onboard processing chain, automated
Noise & Cloud Pruning
Removes irrelevant pixels and clutter to keep only meaningful information.
Quality Checks & Early Validation
Ensures only valid frames or radar returns enter the pipeline.
Segmentation & Feature Detection
Extracts objects, changes, AOIs, and environmental cues in real time.
Metadata Generation
Builds masks, bounding boxes, classification tags, and AOI descriptors.
Hardware-Aware Compression
Reduces data volume dramatically while preserving relevant content.
Custom Pipelines
Sequential or parallel workflows tailored to mission constraints.
PASSIVE PAYLOAD
Onboard processing
These capabilities integrate seamlessly with onboard hardware accelerators and OBDP architectures, enabling consistent performance across diverse EO missions.
PASSIVE PAYLOAD
Satellites generate terabytes of data but most of it is never fully exploited. CLEAR compresses images directly onboard, reducing data volume while preserving the information that matters.

Onboard focusing
Instead of acquiring and transmitting full scenes, the system identifies relevant targets, crops the useful areas and prioritizes what deserves bandwidth and attention. This turns payloads from passive sensors into active, decision-driven instruments.
