Digital Imagery (no-change) for NRI Program
Low riskExact public inventory row
Description
AI algorithms are used to look at landscape images and detect if the landscape has changed from year to year.
Detailed example
The model outputs a classification of “no-changes” in the images if the landscape in the images remain stable from year to year.
AI / analytics pattern
Computer Vision: AI that processes and interprets visual data (e.g., images and videos).
Automation level / stage
a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
Expected benefit
About 72,000 aerial images are interpreted by dozens of technicians each year to collect data for the National Resources Inventory (NRI) program. This case would decrease the number of labor hours required of technicians to manually interpret images.
