Blackshark

What is Blackshark?

Blackshark.ai is an AI platform that builds a live, accurate, photorealistic 3D digital copy of Earth. It processes satellite and aerial imagery with AI to extract details about the planet’s infrastructure, then enriches that data into detailed digital twins. These digital twins support data visualization, simulation, mapping, and mixed reality experiences.

The platform is used in aviation, urban planning, and insurance for visualization, realistic simulation, analysis, and training. It provides region-specific views of terrain, buildings, green space, and infrastructure. Blackshark.ai also offers SYNTH3D, which creates digital airports for simulation, and can generate synthetic training data for machine learning.

Who created Blackshark?

Blackshark.ai was created by Blackshark.ai GmbH. The platform was founded by the company’s CEO and launched on May 24. It uses satellite and aerial imagery to extract infrastructure insights and build digital twins for visualization, simulation, mapping, and mixed reality.

What is Blackshark used for?

Blackshark.ai supports a range of use cases:

• Urban planning: planning new developments and managing city infrastructure.
• Simulation: AV training scenarios including edge cases, drone delivery training, UAV and eVTOL training, and aviation training.
• Machine learning: generating synthetic data for ML object detection, training images, and model training.
• Analysis and visualization: insurance risk analysis, semantic 3D city models, large-scale change detection, vegetation management, telecom signal propagation planning, disaster relief planning, smart city visualization, and real-time 3D infrastructure visualization.
• Creative and training: synthetic movie backgrounds, imagery-derived synthetic environments, and training for pilots, UAV operators, and sensor specialists.

Who is Blackshark for?

Blackshark.ai is aimed at professionals in aviation, urban planning, insurance, and other fields that need global-scale 3D infrastructure data, simulation environments, or synthetic training data.
