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.
Detecting village burnings with high-cadence smallsats: A case-study in the Rakhine State of Myanmar
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.
Monitoring war‐generated environmental security using remote sensing: A review
The negative impact humans have on the environment directly affects the environmental security. Over the years, it has been proven that wars make drastic and sometimes unrecoverable environmental…
World Heritage in danger: Big data and remote sensing can help protect sites in conflict zones
Humanitarian applications of machine learning with remote-sensing data: review and case study in refugee settlement mapping
TLDR
It is considered that using machine learning systems as an augmentation of human analysts is a reasonable strategy to transition from current fully manual operational pipelines to ones which are both more efficient and have the necessary levels of quality control.
