Abstract
Description
Automatic Detection of Environmental Changes Through ViT-Based Analysis of Satellite Images Technical Area The invention enables the automated analysis of environmental changes from large satellite image data. It is related to a system that detects changes. State of the Art Today, the analysis of environmental changes is mostly done manually or with limited automation. It is based on traditional algorithms. Manual methods process large satellite image datasets. Traditional algorithms, on the other hand, are both time-consuming and prone to error when it comes to analysis. You may miss changes at low resolution or changes in large-scale areas. They may not be able to map accurately. Furthermore, current methods often fail to accurately represent changes. from the ability to evaluate its temporal dimension and its effects at different scales together It is lacking. Purpose of the Invention The invention was created by drawing inspiration from existing situations and overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks. It aims to solve the problem. The main goal of the invention is to automatically detect environmental changes through ViT-based analysis of satellite images. The aim is to ensure that it is detected. The invention uses the Vision Transformer (ViT) model to capture both small and large objects in satellite imagery. The model aims to accurately detect large-scale environmental changes. It analyzes time-series-based differences through multi-scale attention mechanisms and It maps environmental changes. This speeds up data analysis processes and decision-making. By providing accurate information to data collection mechanisms, significant contributions are made to the field of environmental management. This will be ensured. The invention uses satellite imagery as input to create the system. The inputs are image preprocessed and... It is normalized using difference analysis, and the difference is detected at the initial level. In the invention, the ViT model analyzes each part in the image and detects changes using attention mechanisms. It learns by analyzing image segments in the ViT model, thus learning about changes. is carried out.
