摘要:This paper discusses the monitoring of unauthorized places of waste accumulation as sources of environmental hazards. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility of using widely available remote sensing data and GIS technologies for the rapid detection of these places, the analysis of their development and the construction of rational forms of environmental safety management. The article discussed the currently existing methods of decryption of satellite images and their use by others to solve similar environmental problems. Universal classification image does not reveal places of waste accumulation and to determine the degree of danger to the required accuracy. To select the area of waste accumulation in the image and determine its area requires the introduction of additional parameters. The research results show that the problem with the lack of methods for identifying elements that are the sources of formation of ecological danger still exist with the presence of methods and models for detecting waste dumps and tracking the dynamics of its distribution.
