Wind turbine detection

An algorithm that detects wind turbines in SPOT imagery.


Overview

The algorithm uses object detection in SPOT display imagery to detect wind turbines. The result is a GeoJSON file with polygons drawn around detected wind turbines.

Wind turbine detection can be used for energy production monitoring, infrastructure management, and construction monitoring.

See more on the marketplace.

Training data and accuracy

The algorithm has been developed using a 40,000-object dataset created specifically for this purpose.

Requirements for input imagery

The STAC item must be a supported data product:

  • SPOT catalog: Display

The STAC item must be CNAM-compatible. Check that the STAC item has been added to storage in 2023 or later.

Input parameters

Required parameters

Input imagery

You need to specify the STAC items you want to apply the process to.

Output title

You need to specify the title of the output objects. This title will be assigned to the resulting STAC item and STAC collection.

API input

Use the detection-wind-turbines-airbus name ID for the processing API.
