Thermal imaging from satellites, combined with nightlight data, can help detect illicit activities that previously benefited from darkness. While daytime satellite imagery is abundant, nighttime thermal data remains scarce, creating a "data desert." However, advanced AI and analytical tools are capable of processing this data once it becomes more available, offering significant implications for security, supply chains, and infrastructure monitoring. AI
IMPACT Advanced AI and analytical solutions are poised to process thermal satellite data, potentially enhancing detection of hidden activities and improving various industry applications.
