Truck detection

An algorithm that detects trucks in Pléiades imagery.


Overview

The algorithm uses object detection in Pléiades display imagery to detect and quanitfy trucks. The result is a GeoJSON file with points drawn on detected trucks.

Truck detection can be used for supply chain and logistics management, traffic management, and urban planning.
