We evaluate neural radiance fields (NeRFs) as a method for reconstructing 3D volumetric scenes from low Earth orbit satellite imagery. We leverage commercial satellite data to reconstruct a scene using existing software tools. In doing so, we identify difficulties in these mapping datasets for NeRF generation. We propose potential applications in geospatial intelligence for context and improved image interpretation.

PixelStorm is a software application for displaying native high-performance applications from remote cloud environments. It is tailored for remote sensing missions that require high framerates, high resolutions, and minimal loss of quality. PixelStorm utilizes hardware-accelerated video compression on graphics processing units and a Sandia-developed streaming network protocol. Using our architecture, we can demonstrate interactive native applications running across two 4K monitors at 60 frames per second while maintaining the visual fidelity required by our missions. This technology allows for the migration of mission critical desktop applications to cloud environments.
