Oil Tank Height via Satellite Imagery

Requirements Clarification & Assessment

1. Objective Understanding:

   • Determine the height of oil storage tanks using satellite imagery.
   • Identify the constraints and data availability for accurate measurement.

2. Clarifying Questions:

   • What is the resolution and quality of the satellite imagery?
   • Is there access to metadata such as satellite zenith angles and sun elevation angles?
   • Are multiple images from different angles available?
   • Is the tank's shape known (e.g., cylindrical)?
   • What is the required accuracy of the height measurement?

3. Assumptions:

   • The tanks are cylindrical and have distinguishable shadows.
   • Satellite images are high-resolution and include metadata.
   • Sufficient lighting is available to cast discernible shadows.

4. Data Requirements:

   • High-resolution satellite images.
   • Satellite metadata including zenith and sun elevation angles.
   • Access to topographic maps or elevation data if available.

5. Constraints:

   • Limited access to multiple angle images.
   • Potential obstructions or distortions in images.
