I-NET Corp.
- Instant Detection of Anomalies Using Satellite Data
Selected for Kanagawa Prefecture's Open Innovation Promotion Program
I-NET Corp. (TSE Prime : Code No. 9600, Head Office: Yokohama, Kanagawa, Representative Director and Executive President: Tomomichi Saeki, hereinafter referred to as "I-NET") and GLODAL Inc. (Head Office: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Hiroyuki Miyazaki; hereinafter "GLODAL") has been selected for support under Kanagawa Prefecture's open innovation initiative, the "Business Accelerator Kanagawa (BAK). "
Together with its partners, GLODAL will conduct a joint verification of a new system called "Eyes in the Sky", which utilizes satellite data and AI to detect anomalies such as landslides, fallen trees, and illegal dumping at an early stage.
This verification aims to enhance safety and security in areas that are difficult to monitor, such as mountainous regions and steep slopes, which pose challenges for both local governments and private sector operators.
１．Overview of the Service Verification
| Implementation Period | October 2025 - March 2026 | |
| Location | Planned for 1-2 municipalities within Kanagawa Prefecture | |
| Evaluation Items | Effectiveness of detecting changes in mountainous and steep slope areas using satellite data Compatibility with local government disaster response workflows Feasibility of cloud-based system operations Viability of the revenue model (PoB: Proof of Business) | |
| Key Roles | GLODAL | Development of AI engine for change detection, satellite data analysis |
| I-NET | Satellite data acquisition, provision of cloud infrastructure, coordination with municipalities, verification management | |
| Kanagawa Prefecture | Financial support, incubation and hands-on support*, public outreach | |
| *Incubation support includes planning, progress management, and commercialization assistance provided by Kanagawa Prefecture and the BAK Secretariat. |
２．Mechanism and Features of "Eyes in the Sky" - One-stop monitoring powered by Satellite × AI × Cloud
"Eyes in the Sky" is a system that analyzes satellite imagery to automatically detect surface changes using AI, enabling early identification of anomalies without the need for on-site inspections. The acquired data is securely processed on I-NET's proprietary cloud platform and clearly communicated to municipal staff and corporate personnel.
Built entirely with domestic assets, the system ensures both security and governance.
３．Background - Challenges in Wide - Area Monitoring
Forests account for approximately 40% of Kanagawa Prefecture's land area, with many regions at high risk of fallen trees and landslides. Traditional monitoring and inspections have relied heavily on manual field surveys, which are limited in scope and responsiveness.
For municipalities, reducing the annual monitoring and inspection costs - often ranging from several million to tens of millions of yen - is a pressing issue, and there is growing demand for new digital transformation "DX"-based solutions.
４．Future Outlook - From Disaster Prediction to Private Sector Applications
Following the verification, efforts will focus on improving AI-based disaster prediction accuracy and expanding applications to private sectors such as real estate and power infrastructure.
In the long term, collaboration with Japan's satellite manufacturing industry aims to establish a new standard for regional disaster prevention through the integration of space technology and DX.
