CAPE Analytics, a provider of AI-powered property insights, has announced a long-term collaboration with EagleView, a geospatial technology expert, to bolster access to current and historical, high-quality, high-resolution, aerial imagery.
This initiative will expand the coverage, recency, history, and resiliency of CAPE’s property analytics across the United States for use in insurance underwriting and rating, as well as real estate lending.
CAPE Analytics brings together a number of data sources, from aerial and satellite imagery to weather information to public records, and combines them using artificial intelligence (AI), to power the most predictive and accurate property analytics available, the firm explains.
CAPE generates and instantly delivers over 80 property insights at massive scale, ranging from current roof condition, roof age, and living area to hail and wildfire risk scores. These insights allow insurance carriers, financial institutions, and home and business owners to understand, manage, and mitigate property-level risk with unprecedented granularity.
Ryan Kottenstette, CEO and Founder of CAPE Analytics, commented: “CAPE’s joint initiative with EagleView provides unparalleled access to the high-resolution aerial imagery and property intelligence insights that our 80+ enterprise clients rely upon daily.
“With EagleView’s imagery integrated into our property intelligence platform, CAPE will continue to increase our lead in providing the most accurate and robust property analytics and peril-aligned risk scores available to insurance carriers and real estate stakeholders.”
High-quality aerial imagery is an important quality feature in CAPE’s property intelligence platform. EagleView is to enhance this with its offer of more than three billion high-resolution, high-quality property photos that cover 94% of the US population and, in some areas, includes an imagery archive that spans 20 years or more.
EagleView uses proprietary sensing and processing technology to capture high-resolution, oblique, and orthogonal aerial imagery—including stunning, sub-1” GSD imagery.
Recently, the platform has also announced it will be programmatically capturing even more metro areas to enable additional high-value data to be extracted from the areas where most people live.
“CAPE’s direct integration with EagleView allows CAPE clients to use this new imagery source within the company’s enterprise-grade API and web applications across all use cases. It also opens access to EagleView’s post-catastrophic event capture program—a critical capability going into a high-risk CAT season.,” the firm explained.
Adding: “ CAPE’s addition of EagleView orthogonal and oblique imagery also brings clients the most comprehensive, timely, and reliable property risk analytics available anywhere.”
