The Problem

The $600 Billion Blind Spot

Urban violations are invisible to the human eye. Manual inspections cover <2% of city area per year. By the time an officer arrives, the building is 4 floors high.

🏗️
₹40,000+ Crore Lost Annually
India loses massive revenue to illegal construction on protected land — river buffers, green belts, flood plains. 67% of Gujarat's river buffers are encroached upon each year.
👁️
<2% Coverage
Traditional ground surveys cover a fraction of the city. 1 inspector = 18 km² with zero tech assistance.
⏱️
3–6 Month Delay
Violations detected months after construction starts. The enforcement window is gone before anyone knows.
⚖️
30% of Legal Cases Dismissed
Evidence collected via photography is easily contested in court — no cryptographic timestamps, editable files, no chain of custody. We solve this with blockchain-hashed evidence.
📜
Regulatory Gap
Gujarat GDCR 2017 mandates 500m water body buffers. SUDA 2035 requires 30% green cover. Tapi Riverfront bans all construction. All routinely violated with zero automated enforcement.

The Solution

The 10,000-Foot Inspector

What if the inspector never left the office? GeoGuard AI autonomously detects, classifies, and legally documents every violation.

The Pipeline

Satellite to Screen in 90 Seconds

Fully autonomous 9-step pipeline. No human in the loop.

01

Targeting input

User draws a bounding box on the Leaflet.js map to define the Area of Interest.

02

Data Acquisition CDSE

Authenticates with ESA Copernicus CDSE. Downloads Sentinel-2 bands B02, B03, B04, B08 at 10m/pixel.

03

Cloud Masking auto

SCL filtering + morphological dilation (50m buffer). All cloud zones hard-overridden to zero.

04

Spatial Alignment auto

Sub-pixel co-registration ensures Before/After stacks are perfectly aligned.

05

SNN Inference core

Siamese-SNN processes both dates through shared U-Net encoder. |F_A − F_B| difference map computed over 8 spiking timesteps.

06

Spectral Classification core

ΔNDVI, ΔNDBI, ΔMNDWI indices classify changes as construction, vegetation loss, or water encroachment.

07

Compliance Check rules

Rule engine evaluates against Gujarat GDCR 2017, SUDA 2035, Tapi Riverfront regulations. Risk scored 0–100.

08

Cloud Save supabase

Images, PDF report, metadata uploaded. SHA-256 evidence hash sealed in database.

09

Structured WhatsApp message dispatched with TinyURL links via WAHA Docker API.


The AI Brain

Hybrid Siamese-SNN

Not just a CNN. A brain that spikes. First known application of Spiking Neural Networks to satellite change detection.

❌ Traditional CNN

  • ReLU activation — continuous, noisy
  • Single forward pass, no temporal filtering
  • Heavy augmentation required for noise
  • ~50W GPU inference power
  • Sigmoid probability output

✅ Our Siamese-SNN

  • LIF spiking neurons — binary, efficient
  • 8 temporal steps filter noise over time
  • Inherent threshold-based noise immunity
  • 0.5W potential on neuromorphic chips
  • Spike firing rate = biological confidence

Spectral Analysis

The Language of Light

Identifying materials from space using normalized difference indices.

NDVI — Vegetation
(NIR − Red) / (NIR + Red)
High = dense vegetation. Forests, farms.
Sharp drop → Vegetation Loss Alert
NDBI — Built-Up
(SWIR − NIR) / (SWIR + NIR)
High = concrete, asphalt, rooftops.
NDVI↓ + NDBI↑ → Construction Alert
MNDWI — Water
(Green − SWIR) / (Green + SWIR)
High = open water surfaces.
Sudden shift → Water Violation Alert

Last scan of Vesu, Surat detected 3.2 ha of changes:
● CRITICAL — 1.8 ha construction in 500m Tapi buffer (GDCR §12.3)
● HIGH — 0.9 ha vegetation clearance (<30% green)
● MEDIUM — 0.5 ha water body alteration
