Change Detection
Infrastructure Change Detection, based on SPOT or Pléiades imagery, detects changes in man-made infrastructures such as roads, buildings and houses, earthworks, etc. It is intended for urban development monitoring.
Description
Infrastructure Change Detection, based on SPOT or Pléiades imagery, detects changes in man-made infrastructures such as roads, buildings and houses, earthworks, etc. It is intended for urban development monitoring.
Supported workflows
Data platform:
- Catalog -> Pléiades Display or SPOT 6/7 Display -> Order and get the asset from storage of UP42
- In Projects workflows, Processing from Storage -> DIMAP GeoTIFF conversion -> Raster Tiling -> Change Detection
Technical description
Assuming tiled SPOT or Pléiades images as an input, the Change Detection algorithm uses models based on deep learning methods to automatically provide a binary change / no change report as an output.
Use cases
The main objective of change detection is to help image analyst to focus on specific location and thus prioritize their activities and deliver faster reports. It can also be used to measure the surface that has changed and thus provide statistics at the level of a county or city. Possible use cases: urban development, maps/databases update, conflict areas monitoring, illegal activities monitoring, etc.
| General Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Supported input data | Input tile size between 256x256 and 1024x1024 pixels. Compatibility with jpg, png, 3 or 4 bands, tif 3 or 4 bands (8 bits RGB), Resolution 2.4 m, Image padding 32 |
| Output data format | GeoJSON vector file in geographic projection WGS84 containing all changes as polygons |
| Performance | Algorithm qualified on a large set of data encompassing different types of landscapes worldwide by Airbus R&D and operational team, with a high level of recall performance. High recall but low precision, so results might contain a significant amount of over detections. Works better with images of the same season, no snow and restrained angles on dense cities and high buildings. |
| Machine Type | GPU |
