Green Cover

This project serves as backend for Green Cover (green-cover-frontend).
green-cover is a project that helps in analysing geo-mapped aerial data to estimate green cover and related factors.

Tech Stack

Vision Analytics, Machine Learning, Datasets and Satellite Imagery:

• Google Earth Engine Datasets
• Google Earth Engine Python API
• Geemap

Backend and API:

• Django
• Django REST Framework
• Voila

Features

• Analysis of geo mapped photographs and satellite imagery to estimate green cover over time across the globe.
• Rendering dynamic maps to analyse green cover and generate timelapses representing change in green cover.
• To understand how increasing rate of deforestation is directly related to bad air quality and provide concrete statistics for the same.
• Time series chart/graph representing change in green cover over the years for the state of Maharashtra.
• Predicting type of landcover in the state of Maharashtra by performing supervised classification using existing datasets.
• Analysis of air quality on basis of various parameters for the state of Maharashtra.
• A system to manage and sign-up volunteers to arrange green drives and awareness programs.
