Detection Capabilities

Wildfire Insights is designed to detect completely destroyed buildings. In rare cases, severe partial structural damage may also be detected, though this is not the primary focus. Non-structural damage, such as smoke damage, scorched vegetation, or interior damage without structural collapse, is beyond the detection capabilities of this solution.

Performance may vary depending on the following factors:

• Terrain: Topographically challenging landscapes (rough terrain, steep slopes) can limit the accuracy of the building damage assessment model.
• Building footprint coverage: The Building Damage Assessment relies on third-party building footprint databases (Precisely for the US, Geoscape for Australia). Where building footprints are absent from these databases, ICEYE cannot deliver an assessment for those structures. ICEYE does not own or control the completeness of these databases and cannot be held responsible for any gaps in coverage. Customers are advised to account for potential gaps when interpreting BDA results.
• Imagery quality: In rare cases, image capture issues or data errors may affect a release. This could result in a delivery delay, generally no greater than 48 hours.

Accuracy Metrics

ICEYE works with customers to evaluate Wildfire Insights accuracy using three standard metrics. Post-event accuracy reviews are dependent on ICEYE acquiring field measurements from government agencies, counties and provinces, customers, and partners. ICEYE endeavours to share accuracy summaries with customers when these are available.
