Automated analysis of remote sensing data for comprehensive monitoring tasks in the context of nuclear safeguards — •Christian Danecke, Prashanth Reddy Marpu, and Irmgard Niemeyer — Institute for Mine-Surveying and Geodesy, Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg), Germany

The quantity of remote sensing data as well as the quality is increasing with the satellite sensor developments and improvements. The field of treaty monitoring benefits from this, as non-verified activities can be spotted more easily. However, it poses new challenges with regard to image processing and data management.

We have developed a monitoring system for the Iran based on satellite imagery. The systems offers tools for data management and for automated image processing, such as object-based classification. New image data to be included will be preprocessed and the relevant information will be extracted from the image data. Both data and information will be stored in the database of the system. The user can easily query on image data and information via an interface.
