- Prompt Title – AI Prompt for Detecting Illegal Deforestation Activities via Satellite Images
Prompt Details
**Prompt Objective:** To identify and analyze potential illegal deforestation activities using satellite imagery for environmental monitoring and land use change detection.
**Target Audience:** AI image analysis models across various platforms, including but not limited to computer vision APIs, deep learning models, and geospatial analysis platforms.
**Prompt Structure:**
This prompt utilizes a dynamic structure allowing for customization based on the specific satellite imagery and location being analyzed. Replace the bracketed placeholders with the appropriate information.

Task: Detect and analyze potential illegal deforestation activities within a specified region using provided satellite imagery.
**1. Input Data:**
* **Imagery Source:** [Specify the satellite imagery source, e.g., Landsat 8, Sentinel-2, PlanetScope]
* **Acquisition Date(s):** [Specify the image acquisition date(s), e.g., YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD]
* **Geographic Coordinates (Bounding Box):** [Provide the bounding box coordinates of the area of interest, e.g., (latitude1, longitude1), (latitude2, longitude2)]
* **Cloud Cover Threshold:** [Specify the acceptable cloud cover percentage, e.g., <10%]
* **Existing Land Use/Land Cover Data (Optional):** [Provide a link or file path to existing land use/land cover data for the area, e.g., shapefile, GeoJSON]
**2. Analysis Tasks:**
* **Change Detection:** Identify areas of significant forest loss between [start date] and [end date]. Prioritize recent changes. Utilize [existing land use/land cover data, if provided] as a baseline. Quantify the area of forest loss in hectares or square kilometers.
* **Pattern Recognition:** Analyze the spatial patterns of forest loss. Look for characteristics indicative of illegal deforestation activities such as:
* **Geometric Shapes:** Identify regular shapes (e.g., rectangles, straight lines) that may suggest planned clearing as opposed to natural disturbances.
* **Road Proximity:** Analyze proximity to roads and infrastructure. Illegal deforestation often occurs near access points.
* **Fragmentation:** Assess forest fragmentation and edge effects. Increased fragmentation can indicate ongoing encroachment.
* **False Positive Mitigation:** Consider factors that can mimic deforestation, such as:
* **Seasonal Changes:** Account for seasonal variations in vegetation cover.
* **Natural Disturbances:** Differentiate deforestation from natural disturbances like wildfires, insect infestations, and landslides. [Provide any available information on known natural disturbances in the area].
* **Agricultural Practices:** Differentiate legal agricultural activities (e.g., permitted logging, crop rotation) from illegal deforestation. [Provide any available information on legal land use permits or agricultural practices in the area].
**3. Output Requirements:**
* **Visualizations:** Provide visualizations highlighting detected changes, including:
* **Change Maps:** Display areas of forest loss using a clear color scheme.
* **Annotated Imagery:** Overlay detected change areas on the original satellite imagery.
* **Spatial Pattern Analysis Visualizations:** Visualize the spatial patterns of detected changes, e.g., proximity to roads.
* **Quantitative Data:** Provide a summary of the analysis, including:
* **Total Area of Forest Loss:** Quantify the total area of forest loss in hectares or square kilometers.
* **Confidence Level:** Provide a confidence level or probability score for detected changes.
* **Location Information:** Provide the geographic coordinates of detected deforestation activities.
* **Data Format:** Provide output in a format suitable for further analysis and reporting, such as GeoJSON, shapefile, or CSV.
**4. Optional Enhancements:**
* **Time Series Analysis:** If multiple images over time are available, perform a time series analysis to track deforestation patterns and rates.
* **High-Resolution Imagery:** Utilize high-resolution imagery (if available) to validate detected changes and provide more detailed information.
* **Machine Learning Models:** Employ specific machine learning models or algorithms designed for deforestation detection (e.g., convolutional neural networks, object detection models) if applicable to the chosen platform.
**Example specific instructions for Google Earth Engine:**
* Use the `ee.ImageCollection()` function to import the specified Landsat or Sentinel-2 imagery.
* Apply cloud masking using the `ee.Algorithms.Landsat.simpleCloudScore()` or `ee.Algorithms.Sentinel2.S2Clouds()` functions.
* Use the `ee.Algorithms.ChangeDetection.detectChange()` function or similar methods for change detection.
**Note:** Adapt these instructions for the specific AI platform being used.
