That sounds amazing, thanks for sharing!

I was thinking about building a low-code SaaS to make analyzing such imagery simpler and more accessible. Think of LabView in a browser. A graphical programming environment that compiles to Python, so that the whole Pandas and AI universe was available and simple analysis and data presentation workflows could be built by anyone. Input daily imagery, automatically output time-series graphs, curve fits, augmentation by other data sources (stocks, weather, AIS, etc), ... seems like a natural combination to me, but maybe I’m too excited over my own idea?

I have to admit though, having earned a physics PhD in a laser lab, I would much prefer to work on optics and satellite tech than software ;-)

Like a Jupyter notebook but for satellite imagery? I think a good number of people may have taken your idea and ran with it :)

Google Earth Engine, Astraea, Descartes Labs, and a whole host of other companies have demonstrated a ton of value in this space, so you're absolutely correct. There's definitely work to be done fusing in other data sources like AIS, but I think the foundation is set.

Let us know if you end up building it - we'd be more than happy to float you some test data!
