Problem:
• Need for monitoring of landfills and assessment of their environmental impact.
• The need to identify unauthorized landfills.
Solution:
Model for recognizing landfills from ultra-high resolution space imagery and UAS imagery.
How it works:
• Designation of an area of interest for the detection of unauthorized dumpsites.
• Ordering a new ultra-high resolution space imagery within the specified timeframe or UAV overflight of the area.
• Application of a pre-trained landfill detection model for images of the specified area, identification of target objects (landfills).
• Planning of routes for field survey of identified dumpsites.
• Fixing the facts of illegal waste dumping in the field.
• Additional training of the model on the actual validated material.
• A service model of ordering a survey, automated RS data processing, obtaining results and generating report documentation is possible.
RS data needed:
• One-time imaging from ultra-high resolution satellites (less than 1 m).
• Unmanned aerial vehicle imagery.
