MATLAB for Big Data and Image Analysis in Energy Resources

Accelerate the processing and analysis of large-scale data and images

MATLAB accelerates the processing and analysis of both large-scale and real-time datasets including images and signals. It uses scalable and adaptive tools that integrate AI, high-performance computing, and signal and image processing capabilities. These features maximize data and image consumption and minimize turnaround times.

MATLAB is the integrated software platform for energy scientists and engineers to:

  • Analyze ultra-large datasets with parallel computing and GPU acceleration
  • Accelerate machine learning and deep learning to make data-driven decisions in real time
  • Automate anomaly detection and recognition with image processing and computer vision
  • Customize and deploy applications on IT infrastructure on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge of the network

“High-performance computing with MATLAB enables us to process previously unanalyzed big data. We translate what we learn into an understanding of how human activities affect the health of ecosystems to inform responsible decisions about what humans do in the ocean and on land.”

Dr. Christopher Clark, Cornell University
