An Open Network for Building and Using Aerial Analytics Services

The Flyingcarpet network connects analytics-hungry businesses with a pool of data scientists who compete to create world-leading analytics-extraction models from rich visual data, such as drone and satellite imagery.

Growing a Global Community of Data Scientists

An incentivisation mechanism implemented using bounties and a Token-Curated Registry of Opportunities (TCRO) running on the Ethereum blockchain that aggregates opportunities for data scientists to build machine learning/artificial intelligence models.

From insurance companies, to agri-companies, to governments, the Flyingcarpet network enables actionable insights through rich AI-powered analytics.

Coconut Fields

Namaliu, a farmer in Papua New Guinea, has a problem. He wastes countless days walking up and down his coconut plantation with a clipboard and pen, manually counting his yield and inspecting his trees. The machine learning model instead processes visual data of Namaliu's plantation, extracting insights and analytics about its projected harvest.

Now, not only can he track theft and monitor yield much more effectively, he can also sell the analytics to third parties, such as government bodies or commodity traders.

Digitising Infrastructure

Infrastructure projects are incredibly costly, typically involve multiple stakeholders, and can be dangerous for the feet on the ground. A machine learning model can process the visual data relating to the bridge and extract insights and analytics about its condition.

Any abnormalities or weak sections are identified and rectified before they become costly - or deadly - problems. Flyingcarpet models can analyse a huge range of infrastructure, including rooftops, roads and power lines.

Setting Insurance on Fire

Insurance claims often take years to settle, payments are based on generic historical data, and brokers typically take a hefty 25% commission. Drones can now scan high-risk locations before and after catastrophe unfolds. A machine learning model will then process this collected visual data and extract insights and analytics, automating the entire claims process.

By building on top of the decentralized Ethereum blockchain, insurers and customers operate within a commission-less protocol, enabling participants to capture all network value.

    COLLECT

    Participants, such as businesses, set bounties on the network to incentivise the collection of visual data. This populates a heat map that displays data collection opportunities for drones, satellites and other imagery sources.
