Overview
Synspective Inc., a Japanese satellite service provider, specializes in developing and operating small SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites. They aimed to provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring land displacement over wide areas. To make this data accessible and actionable, they needed a sophisticated monitoring system capable of visualizing minute ground changes. Brain Station 23 helped develop a platform that translates complex satellite data into clear, actionable insights for disaster prevention and infrastructure management.
Business Challenges
Wide-Area Monitoring: The need to detect timely vertical land displacement across vast geographical areas was difficult with traditional methods.
Precision Requirements: Detecting land subsidence and deformation required millimeter-level accuracy which is hard to visualize effectively.
Data Complexity: Raw InSAR data is complex; stakeholders needed a clear, understandable interface to observe periodic changes.
Lead Time & Cost: Traditional surveying methods involved long lead times and high operational costs.
Disaster Response: The need to quickly assess flood levels and the status of affected infrastructure (roads, buildings) during emergencies.
Solution Provided
InSAR Analysis Integration: Developed a system capable of detecting vertical land displacement in millimeters using InSAR analysis.
User-Friendly Dashboard: Created an intuitive interface with color-coded dots to easily visualize ground changes and deformation.
Advanced Visualization Modes: Implemented three distinct modes of visualization, including before-and-after map comparisons using Mapbox.
Polygon-Trace Tool: Enabled users to trace and analyze specific areas of interest for detailed reports.
Disaster & Infrastructure Management: Integrated features to monitor flood levels and classify the status of affected infrastructure like roads and buildings.
Multi-Format Reporting: Built functionality to download detailed analysis reports in several formats to support construction and public facility management.
Impact
Reduced Lead Time: Greatly reduced the time required to conduct surveys and analyze ground data.
Cost Efficiency: Achieved significant cost reductions compared to existing physical surveying methods.
Enhanced Safety: provided critical support for disaster prevention, construction management, and energy resource development.
Actionable Insights: Empowered users to access ground changes recorded over time and make informed decisions on land subsidence.
