Infrastructure change detection (SPOT)

An algorithm that detects infrastructure changes between two different SPOT images.


Overview

The algorithm detects changes in infrastructure across two SPOT images. The result is a GeoJSON file with polygons drawn around the detected changes.

Infrastructure change detection can be used for urban planning, construction, fire risk estimation, land use management, and infrastructure monitoring.

Performance

The algorithm has been developed using SPOT and Pléiades imagery.

For optimal results, the algorithm must be applied to imagery over urban areas with man-made infrastructure.

Requirements for input imagery

Both data items must be the same supported data product:

  • SPOT catalog: Display

Both data items must be CNAM-compatible. Check that the data items have been added to storage in 2023 or later.

The geometries of the data items must overlap by at least 30%.

Input parameters

You must specify the data items you want to apply the process to.

You must specify the title of the output data item.

API input

Use the detection-change-spot-hyperverge name ID for the processing API.
