ANATIS: Monitor social infrastructure widely and frequently

In recent years, Japan’s infrastructure has been aging.

Emergence of serious accident risks,
Rising maintenance costs,
Lack of inspection technicians,

Currently, large river embankments, large ports, airports, etc. are inspected regularly by visual inspection (for example, the river embankment is regularly surveyed at intervals of 200 m once within five years).

Satellite data can be used to monitor social infrastructure widely and frequently.
