The main objective of this study is the evaluation of the merits of a dual-camera setup for the acquisition of both high spatial resolution images and high-resolution images of identified events of
interest, on-board, through AI methods. A mission analysis of the approach for a single-satellite, dual camera setup as well as for a two-satellite (leading-trailing), single camera setup was
performed. The dual-camera AI approach was demonstrated on commercially available high performance embedded computers (Xilinx Kria SoM / Google Edge TPU SoM) through a state-of-the-art active fire detection use case.
