| Abstract |
This report in three volumes evaluates the potential of high-resolution satellites for the monitoring of on-land pipelines. The available technology and possible applications were reviewed. A system was developed to evaluate the benefits of applying satellite imaging techniques to the routing and surveillance of on-land transmission pipelines, and to test an available satellite for estimating the technical effectiveness and cost. Volume I presents the cost-benefit study and considers the sensitivity of several key parameters on costs. Volume II presents an appraisal of the data gathered by the IKONOS satellite for pipeline surveillance. Volume III presents a functional specification of requirements for satellite surveillance. |
