Accessing the Fusion Platform® is made easy by using our Python SDK. With comprehensive documentation and examples, the SDK makes it easy to set up, execute, monitor and obtain the outputs from your processes. The SDK allows you to fully interact with the platform to enable you to gain the insights you need, when you need them.

The simplest way to interact with the Fusion Platform® is via our Python SDK, which allows you to manage your organisation and user account, upload and download data, and create, execute, monitor and control processes. We also offer a RESTful API if you would prefer handling the lower level detail yourself.

The SDK has been built for Python 3, and is tested against Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12. To install the SDK into a suitable Python environment containing pip, execute the following:
pip install fusion-platform-python-sdk
To update an existing installation to the latest version, execute the following:
pip install fusion-platform-python-sdk --upgrade
To use the SDK, you will then need a valid account and associated organisation. If you want to try this out and do not have an account, please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.

GitHub

View the full source code, examples and documentation for the SDK on GitHub. This also shows the release history (with tags) so that you can see what's changed in the latest version.

Python Package Index (PyPI)

The SDK is tested against Python versions 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 at every release to ensure compatibility. See the release history and other information on PyPI.

Detailed Documentation

The SDK includes a detailed user guide with examples. Further detail on every model, its properties and methods is also provided for in-depth usage.

Case Studies & News

Detecting and Monitoring Solar Farms

Large scale detection and monitoring of renewable energy sources

In order to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce the use of fossil fuels, the implementation and use of renewable energy sources is key. Remote sensing provides valuable monitoring of solar farms that enables their efficiency, and hence output, to be tracked over time at scale, efficiently from a distance. In this case study we demonstrate the automatic detection of some solar farms in the south of England and how regular monitoring using satellite thermal imaging reports on their efficiency.

Crop Classification

Accurate, scalable crop classification using remote sensing

With climate change posing a real threat to food supplies worldwide, sustainability of food production and the ability to feed the world's population are becoming increasingly critical — not only for for producers, distributers and sellers but also for governments and communities globally. Remote sensing can bring certainty to food supply estimation with its ability to detect what crops are growing and area coverage, enabling more accurate yield prediction months before harvest and also facilitating more accurate carbon footprint modelling of agriculture.

Pasture Biomass Mapping

Accurate mapping irrespective of cloud cover

Trusted, accurate mapping of pasture biomass bring another level of decision making to anyone working with pastures, and offers the potential for more efficient practices, optimised feed management and the avoidance of over-grazing. Removing the need to estimate biomass by eye, plate-meter or drone/aircraft flights, satellite-derived biomass mapping saves time and money. Here we share our latest case study, where a best-practice test farm in Australia has finished trialling our pasture biomass service and is utilising it to develop optimal stock movements, improve sustainability and drive greater efficiencies.

Pollution Monitoring

Measuring Tropospheric Nitrogen Dioxide over Urban Areas

With the launch of ESA's Sentinel-5P satellite in 2017, it is now possible to monitor global atmospheric pollution on a daily basis, such as tropospheric concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, methane, sulphur dioxide, and formaldehyde. Taking advantage of this data, it is possible to produce temporal trends of pollution in cities and industrial areas, which can be used to understand movements of polluted air and possible risks for the population.

Capabilities

Image Processing & Fusion

Specialist image analysis and data fusion

We go beyond standard approaches to extract greater value from imagery for our customers. Whatever the image waveband, type or quality, we have the understanding and experience to meet even the most demanding of requirements, whether through existing algorithms or new, bespoke solutions, we can tailor to price and performance demands. As image and data fusion experts, we also bring the ability to offer enhanced performance from multiple sensor sources, where available.

Platforms & APIs

Robust cloud platforms and API solutions

Being able to extract insight from data is not enough to be useable by customers to solve their problems. Needed alongside clever algorithms is the ability to develop robust, secure and useable solutions which, for example, integrate with customer systems, or provide stand-alone systems which can be used by end users.
