What facilities can I watch?
You can watch for changes around facilities such as roads, bridges, and power lines, and check where something looks different.
Infrastructure inspection
Infrastructure inspection watches changes around roads, bridges, and power facilities from orbit to show where to inspect first.
If this is your challenge
Facilities are numerous and spread out, so checking every one in person on each inspection cycle is hard. A problem may go unnoticed until the next inspection.
How StellarHub solves it
Receive scheduled monitoring captures that match your inspection cycle, and AI analysis compares them with earlier imagery to single out the places that changed most. You are also notified when a change passes your threshold.
Data used
Optical satellite imagery is the main source, with SAR imagery alongside it when needed. You can upload your organization's facility shape data to look only at the areas around inspection targets.
What you receive
The areas around facilities that changed most appear on the map, helping you set the inspection order. Results can be exported as a report to share.
How it works
How it runs
Set the area of interest, receive imagery, find what changed with AI analysis, and put the results to work.
Set what to inspect
Draw the area around roads, bridges, and power lines on the map.
Capture on your inspection cycle
Schedule monitoring captures that match your inspection cycle, or buy scenes.
Find the largest changes
AI analysis compares scenes with earlier ones and singles out the places that changed most.
Set the inspection order
Set the order of field inspections starting from those places, and use the results in reports.
Facilities it looks at
It looks at changes around widely spread facilities such as roads, bridges, and power lines.
When facilities are spread out, visiting every one on each inspection cycle is hard. Looking at the surroundings through satellite imagery first narrows down where you need to go.
Receive monitoring captures on your inspection cycle, compare them with earlier imagery, set the inspection order starting from the largest changes, and use the results in reports.
What it mostly looks at
- Changes around roads and bridges
- Changes around power lines
- Places that changed in each inspection cycle
How the results are used
Marking the places that changed most helps you set the inspection order and write inspection reports.
Even with many facilities, having the places that changed most already marked makes it easier to decide where to look first with limited staff. Results are exported as a report to share.
Typical uses
- Setting the inspection order and staffing
- Evidence for inspection reports
- Scheduling monitoring to match the next inspection cycle

Frequently asked questions
Can it follow my inspection cycle?
Yes. Scheduled monitoring captures can be set to match your inspection cycle, so the same area is received on a recurring basis.
How do I decide what to inspect first?
The places that changed most are singled out first, so you can set the order of field inspections.
Can I upload facility location data?
Yes. Shape data your organization owns can be uploaded to look at the areas around inspection targets.
Can I turn the results into a report?
Yes. The change map and results can be exported as a report for inspection briefings and decisions.
