Team Automators presented their idea for an "Eye in the Sky" project that would use remote sensing and photogrammetry to detect irregularities in construction, land use, and pollution control over a large geographic area. The system would source remote sensing data from various agencies and use image processing algorithms to extract features and classify them. A rule engine would then check for compliance with laws. This would reduce costs, increase efficiency by automating data collection, and reduce corruption by limiting manipulation compared to traditional monitoring methods. Potential customers include government agencies and non-profits focused on issues like planning, pollution control and the environment.

Technology description
• Remote sensing data will be sourced through
various agencies (Google, ISRO,Geo Eye, etc.).
• Photogrammetry and other image processing
algorithms will be used for feature extraction and
classification.
• Rule engine will apply statutory rules to the
extracted features to check for conformance with
local and national laws.
• Any feature failing this check will be flagged for
review and followup by the contracting agency.

Case Study
CRZ norm specifies
Between 0-200 meters from HTL (High Tide Line) is
a no development zone where no construction shall
be permitted.
Distinguishing between the uniform shade and the
noisy patterns we get the coast line (in red) checking
for regular geometric shapes we identify a
construction within 20 meters from the shore.
