What other use cases do you see for remote sensing data, aside from agriculture and climate change tracking?
Asking because our research team (social sciences, but interdisciplinary) is developing middleware and tooling for working with publicly accessible remote sensing data in Julia.
- Brajeshwar 5y agoThere are quite a lot to demands from fraud and change monitoring. For instances; 1. Govt-Private billion dollar construction mega-projects needs regular tracking of discrepencies on area of construction, excess or the lack of areas covered, etc. 2. Planning of train tracks, especially in developing countries, and the eventual tracking of it with proof of work done, etc. Drones cannot fly all the time (weather), costly area of coverage. Commercially available data, not just from optical but SAR[a] is the other thing. SAR may in-fact be more appropriate to track, count trees etc (if the cost becomes more economical). East Asian regions uses mostly SAR to look at Palm Trees and the likes. a. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic-aperture_radar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic-aperture_radar
