EagleView reduces costs and processing time for aerial imagery extraction with Amazon SageMaker

Use case typeMedical imagingUpdated Jun 13, 2026

EagleView uses aerial imagery and machine learning to provide insights for construction, real estate, insurance, emergency services, and energy customers. Its image-processing system must support large concurrent workloads and near real-time inference for use cases with tight SLAs. To address scaling and reliability challenges, EagleView migrated two ML pipelines from Amazon EKS-based infrastructure to Amazon SageMaker within eight months, standardizing deployment and using asynchronous inference and autoscaling to manage large request volumes.

  • Large image-processing ML workloads were difficult to scale.
  • The team struggled to meet near real-time SLAs during peaks of thousands of requests.
  • Prior infrastructure required heavy configuration and debugging for large batch workloads.
  • EagleView migrated its pipelines to Amazon SageMaker for managed deployment and scaling.
  • The company used SageMaker Inference and SageMaker Asynchronous Inference to process requests efficiently and autoscale capacity to zero when idle.
  • EagleView streamlined model migration by using integrated NVIDIA Triton Inference Server containers on SageMaker.
  • The migration improved operational consistency and allowed the team to support larger workloads with less manual optimization.
  • Model performance improved by 300-400%.
  • Compute costs were reduced by 40-50%.
  • Processing 1,000 square miles of aerial imagery dropped from 16 hours to 1.5 hours, a 90% reduction.
  • The system met SLAs more consistently and improved overall reliability.
Architecture

EagleView migrated two ML pipelines from Amazon EKS to Amazon SageMaker. The deployment used SageMaker Inference, SageMaker Asynchronous Inference, autoscaling, and integrated NVIDIA Triton Inference Server containers to support large-scale image extraction workloads and near real-time inference.
