First satellite images from Copernicus arrive. Double earthquake in Venezuela.
The first satellite images from the Copernicus project are arriving. Through artificial intelligence, they help identify damaged buildings to assess the affected area of Venezuela, struck by the double earthquake of M7.2 and M7.5, from an aerial view.
Copernicus is a project that uses comparative satellite images to compare images captured before an event with post-event images. Through an artificial intelligence system, the system can detect affected or damaged structures, classifying them as 'no damage', 'possible damage', and 'completely affected'. This makes it easier to conduct a comprehensive count of the damaged structures from a privileged vantage point that would otherwise be impossible.
There are still areas that are not accessible by road, so it is expected that there is even greater damage than currently accounted for. Copernicus helps carry out assessments and even points out other deeply affected areas.
