Sumitomo Corporation is also using AWS machine learning to build applications that measure blue carbon to lower carbon footprints for organizations in Japan. For example, Sumitomo Corporation built a product that allows local governments to measure blue carbon, carbon dioxide that is absorbed from the atmosphere and stored in the ocean, in marine and coastal ecosystems, to help towns in Japan to earn carbon credits.
Sumitomo Corporation group company InsightEdge uses Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth—a service that makes it easy to label raw data such as images, text files, and videos—to label aerial photographs.
These pictures are taken by drones from Nileworks, a Sumitomo Corporation group company, to calculate the amount of blue carbon in marine seagrass and seaweed. Based on the results, towns can apply for blue carbon credits, which local governments can use to launch new sustainability projects.
