  • Publication number: 20230410275
    Abstract: To provide a data acquisition apparatus including a first image data acquisition unit for acquiring first image data showing a first image obtained by photographing a target area from a satellite, a calculation unit for calculating a vegetation index in the target area by using the first image data, a determination unit for determining whether the vegetation index satisfies a predetermined evaluation criterion, and a second image data acquisition unit for acquiring second image data showing a second image obtained by photographing the target area at a higher resolution than the first image if the vegetation index does not satisfy the evaluation criterion.

  • Publication number: 20230379574
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging support apparatus including: a first information acquiring unit configured to acquire first information indicating a first timing at which a satellite image of a target area is captured; a prediction result acquiring unit configured to acquire a prediction result of a time-series prediction of an imaging environment in the target area; a calculating unit configured to calculate on a time-series basis, based on the prediction result, a degree of similarity of an imaging environment between the first timing and each timing other than the first timing; a determining unit configured to determine a second timing on which a satellite image of the target area is to be captured based on the degree of similarity; and a second information output unit configured to output second information indicating the second timing.
