Accordingly, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention are provided for illustrative purpose only and not for the purpose of limiting the invention.

[0016] It is to be understood that the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0017] It should be emphasized that the term “comprises/comprising” when used in this specification is taken to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps or components but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, components or groups thereof. The equations used in the specification are only for computation purpose.

[0018] The present invention relates to a system and method for aerially collecting raw data from a plurality of aerial or satellite sensors (102) mounted as payloads on the platforms of an unmanned aerial and space system (104), such as drones or satellites. The sensors (102) captures the raw data aerially for pre-processing and beaming the collected raw data to ground stations. The ground stations installed with a computing device receives raw data from the satellite sensors (102) through electromagnetic waves at a pre-defined frequencies. The raw data captured by the satellite sensors (102) comprises of, but not limited to, a plurality of digital and analogue signals, images, videos and position based information. The raw data received from the plurality of sensors (102) is simultaneously merged and processed via the pre-processing techniques of the pre-processing module (106). The pre-processing techniques are used to improve visual quality of data through various corrections, such as gamma correction, radiometric correction, image balancing, removal of no-data regions, proper geo-registration, and addition of proper ground coordinates to pixels. In an exemplary embodiment, the pre-processing module (106) exists as a computational element either directly on the payload of the unmanned aerial and space system (104), or on computing device at the ground stations.

[0019] Further, hardware accelerated mapping of pre-processed data is realized by as user by exploiting efficient software module (110) based computational and memory architecture. Hardware accelerated mapping is different for different computational blocks that are being used, such as by writing optimized code specific to CPUs, differently for specific GPUs and differently for other hardware data processing accelerators/chips

[0020] The software module (110) is installed in any one of: the computing device; and/ or the payload of unmanned aerial and space system (104). The software module (110) is configured with a pre-trained computer vision and artificial intelligence algorithms to generate outputs of different types of spatio-temporal analysis on the raw data. The analyzed output is transferred for post-processing, visualizing, handling and saving. The analyzed output data is transferred to a skilled users for further analyzing the outputs, while part of the output is also transferred to backend of AI-algorithm refinement module installed in the software module (110) for improving the quality of AI algorithms. Further, the analyzed output data is transferred to a database manager for organization of data and better visualization. In an exemplary embodiment, part or full of this output is also transferred to a database manager for organization of data and better visualization.

[0021] The software module (110) is operated by a skilled user, where the data is run in a loop comprising a feedback of person skilled in the art both at the level of processing hardware and algorithms to enhance the quality of analysis. Based on the input received from the person skilled in the art the analytical technique is refined in real-time. The analytical technique is refined by extraction of parameters from skilled user inputs and updating of parameters in algorithms of software module (110) accordingly. The refined/upgraded analytical technique is re-mapped to the system of the present invention for running refined analysis on the data. In an exemplary embodiment, analytical technique is mapped using standard programming techniques, parameter updating, automation scripts - components here again refer to computing components - servers etc. The said process is repeated for the cycles of raw data.
