ScanEx Center has developed and put into operation a new information service “KosmoInspector” intended for operational satellite-based monitoring of economic activities at remote areas and enterprises. In 2011-2013 the “KosmoInspector” service was tested when carrying out control of illegal economic activities projects, illegal domestic wastes dumps, monitoring of forest logging, emergency response, and houses construction dynamics, etc.
Promising directions of using “KosmoInspector” service are as follows:
ScanNet technology and geoinformation approach are applied at the regions for economic activities control. It is based on change detection analysis of multi-temporal images using near real-time high and very high resolution optical and radar satellite imagery data.
“KosmoInspector” service puts in practice the advantages related to images reception to the proprietary network of ScanEx stations in Russia and to automated data stream processing. This allows ensuring prompt order response time and fast data provision after taking images, high monitoring frequency and comparatively inexpensive end products.
Depending on the customers’ requests, ready images can be provided, as well as processed images with detected changes or thematic reports containing the analysis of such detected changes properties.
