The Habitat Scanner Tool is an advanced geospatial analysis
platform designed to identify and assess wildlife attractants near airports. By combining
OpenStreetMap and Satellite Imagery, it provides comprehensive
risk assessments for aviation safety professionals.
Key Features
- Dual-Source Intelligence: OpenStreetMap for verified land use + Satellite
imagery for comprehensive water body detection
- Risk Scoring Algorithm: Calculates risk (1-10) based on distance, area, and
habitat type
- Interactive Dashboard: Real-time statistics, charts, and detailed feature lists
- Smart Classification: Accurately categorizes waste, water, and vegetation
habitats
- Export Capabilities: Download KML and CSV files with complete habitat data
- Specific Naming: Displays actual habitat names (e.g., "River Nile", "Lake
Nasser")
What's New in V 06
- Optimized satellite data (water-only detection)
- Airport infrastructure exclusion (no false positives)
- Improved geometry handling (automatic repair)
- Smart download filenames (includes ICAO/coordinates)
- Enhanced mobile responsiveness
- Distance to ARP in all displays
How It Works
- Enter an ICAO code or coordinates
- Set analysis radius and minimum area threshold
- System fetches data from OSM and satellite sources
- Habitats are classified, scored, and displayed on the map
- Export results for further analysis or reporting
