Aether Wording Updates
1. Description
The Aether platform and business use cases have evolved significantly since the initial platform release a few years ago.
Some of the terminology used to date no longer reflects the current product or its vision.
To improve the global consistency of the platform, we have updated some of the module names and icons to better fit their purpose and renamed and re-categorized the analytics in our analytics catalog.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this update, please contact your sales representative.

4. Aether Analytic Catalog Updates
We have renamed and re-categorized our analytics catalog to make it consistent and allow easier tools access.
Our tools are now grouped into 4 categories:
- Computation Tools: Perform simple calculations on your dataset, such as calculating a volume, area, or point cloud difference, or generate advanced 2D maps and 3D models from your raw data.
- Feature Extraction: Extract business features such as assets, assets properties, or attributes from your raw data.
- Transformation Tools: Perform transformations on your data, such as converting, cropping, or aggregating data.
- Vegetation Assessment: Assess the condition or characteristics of vegetation, crops, or forests to understand its condition and how it changes over time.
