Planet Satellite Data + AI Enables The Kingdom Of Bahrain to manage smart cities

SkySat data has been leveraged by the government of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB), to enhance urban planning initiatives nationwide. In collaboration with Planet, Aetosky (formerly known as SkyMap Global) has implemented an advanced urban planning system.This turnkey solution integrates AI-enabled change detection technology with our high-resolution satellite imagery, exemplifying a sophisticated approach to modern urban management.Leveraging the SkySat 50 cm satellite imagery, Aetosky has enabled government authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain to deploy this comprehensive urban planning system, covering 850 sq kilometres.This sophisticated system integrates Planet’s high-resolution satellite data with Aetosky’s advanced Change Detection Analysis capabilities to monitor and categorize various changes in the region, including modifications to existing buildings, rooftop alterations, vegetation shifts, and water changes.

This innovative approach has led to an increase in the effectiveness of building permit validation activities by the municipalities, highlighting the system’s significant impact on efficient urban management and planning.
