I've heard this story so many times, and I really want to know if anyone is actually using this technique to actually make decisions, or is it just basically the "hello world" of satellite data analysis (along with identifying aeroplanes)?
The company that famously touted they were doing it, Orbital Insights [1], almost went bankrupt, and were sold for cents on the dollar [2]
I'm in the EO industry, and it's a use case you hear a lot, but I am not sure anyone is actually doing this profitably.
