BlackShore delivers map products based on crowd-sourced interpretation of satellite, aerial or drone imagery through its Cerberus platform.
Cerberus is BlackShore's crowd-sourced imagery interpretation platform. Trained volunteer players worldwide examine satellite, aerial, and drone imagery through a gaming interface based on hexagonal analysis units; statistical consensus across multiple players converts individual responses into map-grade products.[1][2]
The platform processes multispectral satellite imagery at resolutions down to 30 cm.[3] Analytical outputs include land-cover maps and change-detection products derived from optical time-series comparisons.[1] Cerberus was originally developed in 2011 as a Mars surface-mapping research project and subsequently adapted for Earth observation applications.[3] BlackShore is an ESA BIC Noordwijk alumnus.[3]
Cerberus is operated separately from BlackShore's satellite imagery forensics service; the crowd model is not used for sensitive humanitarian or legal casework.[4]
