Detection System of Landscape’s Unnatural Changes by Satellite Images Based on Local Areas

The paper deals with a state-of-the-art applied problem related to the detection of landscape’s unnatural changes based on satellite images. An approach to constructing a detection system based on neural network processing of local terrain areas is proposed. As part of the approach, a neural network architecture and mechanisms for tuning to a specific area have been developed. It is shown that the use of neural networks and images corresponding to local areas (as initial data) provides easy expansion of the system to various types of terrain. The paper also presents a data filtering algorithm to adjust the balance of recall and overall precision of the system. Experimental studies have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
