Abstract
Monitoring of an environmental location to detect waste disposal includes receiving, by a computer, a collection of images from aerial data acquisition sources, the collection of images corresponding to the environmental location and the waste disposed in the environmental location. The collection of images are processed by the computer to extract properties of the waste and first properties of the environmental location. Subsequently, the properties of the waste disposed in the environmental location are classified according to a class. Additional information from external data sources including second properties of the environmental location is received by the computer. The computer determines a behavior of waste disposal in the environmental location over a period of time based on the classified properties of the disposed waste and the first and second properties of the environmental location, and generated a remediation plan based on the determined behavior.
