This document is posted to help you gain knowledge. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think about it! Share it to your friends and learn new things together.
The purpose of this presentation isto inform about existing and planned services and to invite you to contribute test cases and ideas for
further applications
Services are at this stage of the project on different levels ranging from
ideas operationalto
3
Service are provided in 3 main application fields in the humanitarian context:
Application fields
(1) Population
(2) Water
(3) Landuse
4
Population
How many people live in an camp or urban area and where?
Does the population density reach a critical threshold?
In which direction does a camp grow? Where are areas of dismantling?
What is the current camp structure? Are there areas of specific purpose, origin, age or destruction?
What is the distance to infrastructure? Where is it best to put new one?
Are camps in accordance to international standards?

Camp coordination and camp management
5
Refugee/IDP camps
6
Dwelling extraction
semi-automated extraction of single dwellings
distinction of different types depending on type of roof coverage, shape, color and size
statistical information e.g. number and share of different dwellings
population estimation
7
Camp outline
boundary delineated automatically
info required in rapidly expanding refugee/IDP camps
important for long-time monitoring
8
Dwelling density
calculated based on extracted single dwellings
provides an easy-to-grasp overview on the spatial distribution
as density or aggregated on regular units
9
Camp structure
identification if specific areas within a camp depending on predominant occurring dwelling type (e.g. ratio of tents/huts as potential indicator for newly settled areas)
aggregated to regular units, administrative units or existing camp sections
statistical information like the share of different dwelling types
Share of dwelling type
10
Camp planning
distance maps to assess the number of dwellings within a certain distance of a specific infrastructure (e.g. borehole, hospitals, latrines, etc.)
assessment of minimum distances between dwellings
assessment of standards (Sphere / UNHCR)
11
Camp evolution
changes of single dwellings between 2 images from different times
detection of new and dismantled single structures
aggregation to regular units indicating areas of dwelling increase or dwelling decrease
regular monitoring using newly available data
12
Destroyed settlements
13
Destroyed tukuls
automated detection and counting of destroyed stucturese.g. tukuls
