The Oil Tank Detection pretrained model available on ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World is used to detect oil tanks from high resolution satellite imagery.
Oil tank detection holds major significance in the oil and gas industry, revolutionizing the way critical infrastructure are monitored and managed. Deep learning allows rapid and accurate identification of oil storage tanks from various image sources such as high-resolution satellite imagery. This enables proactive maintenance, leak prevention, and emergency response. The ability to automatically detect and locate these tanks in real time enhances operational efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship. It also reduces the risk of accidents, ensures regulatory compliance, and ultimately contributes to the sustainable and responsible management of valuable energy resources. Use this deep learning model to automate the task of detecting oil storage tanks in high-resolution satellite imagery.
