The use of remote-sensing technology to study violent conflict has increased considerably over the last 5–10 years. This article surveys this growing field to show which conflict-related impacts are and are not currently possible to detect from afar. A brief overview of the principles of remote-sensing technology and sensor characteristics is provided, followed by a review and discussion of the literature, organized by temporal delay in the visible manifestation of the conflict impact from…

Environmental Armed Conflict Assessment Using Satellite Imagery

Abstract Armed conflicts not only affect human populations but can also cause considerable damage to the environment. Its consequences are as diverse as its causes, including; water pollution from…

Detecting dwelling destruction in Darfur through object-based change analysis of very high-resolution imagery

TLDR
Object-based change analysis for the automatic and selective detection of destructed dwellings in bi-temporal images is explored in test areas in Darfur and shows that the automatic calculation of local reference values and thresholds for the change detection can increase robustness when the proposed method is applied on study areas with different image properties.

Remote Sensing for International Peace and Security: Its Role and Implications

TLDR
This review demonstrated how this technology assemblage enacts multiple versions of peace and security: for refugee relief operations, in armed conflicts monitoring, tracking acts of genocide, providing evidence in courts of law, and assessing contravention in human rights.

Suggestions on the Selection of Satellite Imagery for Future Remote Sensing-Based Humanitarian Applications

TLDR
It is suggested that data fusion of SPOT5 and Sentinel-2 may be helpful in LCLU change detection caused by refugees/IDPs or conflicts and general characteristics of commonly available optical satellite imagery are presented.

Remote sensing for international human rights advocacy: Critiques and responses

Abstract In recent years the rise of remote sensing (RS) imagery in international human rights (IHR) advocacy has begun to draw significant critical attention from the academic community. This…

Multifractality in Humanitarian Applications: A Case Study of Internally Displaced Persons/Refugee Camps

TLDR
This case study uses multifractal features to determine the extent of camps in Kenya and Sudan and shows that the method can be usefully applied to camp growing analysis and help to make a rough, but rapid estimation of their extent.
