Detection of waste deposits using satellite imagery

Purpose

The purpose of Detection of waste deposits using satellite imagery is to systematically and automatically detect illegal dumping using AI applied to satellite images, helping reduce costs and improve the efficiency of cleaning services.

Primary users

The primary user is not specified. Based on the provided use case, the agent is intended for stakeholders involved in monitoring dumping sites and supporting cleaning services, with ownership listed as Raphael Barth.

Where it fits (process/stage/trigger)

This agent fits into the monitoring and operational planning process for identifying existing and emerging illegal waste deposits. It is used when satellite imagery needs to be analyzed to locate dumpsites, assess zones, and support cleaning service prioritization.

Key capabilities / workflow

The agent uses AI to identify dumpsites from satellite images, displays existing and emerging dumpsites on a map, highlights risk areas and safe zones, and provides the status of dumping sites. It also maintains a zone list with detailed information on each identified location.

Inputs

The specified input is satellite imagery. Other input details, datasets, credentials, links, and related source systems are not specified.

Outputs / Deliverables

The outputs include a map showing existing and emerging dumpsites, highlighted risk areas and safe zones, dumping site status information, and a zone list containing detailed information on each identified location.

Value

The agent helps reduce the cost and effort of detecting illegal dumping by automating analysis from satellite imagery and improving the efficiency of cleaning services through clearer mapping, risk visibility, and location-level information.
