GEOINT Techniques#
The tradecraft applied to GEOINT sources with the operator’s kit. Each technique is a repeatable procedure that turns raw data into intelligence.
Technique |
Description |
|---|---|
Image interpretation |
Recognize installations, vehicles, activity patterns. |
Change detection |
Compare two dates; flag pixels / regions that changed. |
Shadow / time analysis |
Sun azimuth + shadow length to recover time-of-day. |
Geolocation chip |
Match a photo’s terrain to satellite imagery. |
Pattern of life |
Track parked vehicles, lights at night, traffic over time. |
Terrain analysis |
Slope, aspect, viewshed, line-of-sight; mobility corridor study. |
Vector overlay |
Combine OSM roads / buildings with satellite to enrich. |
