Drishti turns free satellite imagery into a dated, month-by-month record of any building site — from the first earthworks to the finished structure. An independent, verifiable timeline of progress on the ground, no drones or site visits required.
Live Example · Saudi Arabia
A real Drishti timeline of a 2034 FIFA World Cup stadium, from groundbreaking (Jul 2024) to today, built entirely from free Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Press play, or drag to compare day one with the latest pass.
Inside the demo: ▶ play the timelapse, or ⇆ compare day one with today. See the documentation for methodology & terms.
Live Example · India
A dated, independent Drishti record of roughly 200 acres being cleared at Tarluvada, Visakhapatnam for Google's 1 GW AI data center (groundbreaking Apr 2026), built entirely from free Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery. Press play, or drag to compare day one with the latest pass.
A neutral satellite record — land-cover change only, dated from each Sentinel-2 pass. See the documentation for methodology & terms.
How It Works
Fully automated. Give us a location — we handle the rest.
What You Can Track
One engine, pointed at any site on Earth — past or present.
Pricing
Every site is different — coverage period, number of locations, update frequency, and whether you need higher-resolution commercial imagery. Tell us what you want to track and we'll scope it.
FAQ
The free Sentinel-2 archive goes back to 2015–2017 depending on the region. For most projects we can reconstruct the full history from before groundbreaking right up to today.
Sentinel-2 revisits the same spot roughly every 5 days. We keep the clearest cloud-free image from each pass, so you get a fresh frame on that cadence. Daily updates are possible with paid commercial satellites, quoted separately.
Free Sentinel-2 imagery is about 10 m per pixel — clear enough to read earthworks, foundations and a structure rising, but not fine detail like individual vehicles. Where you need sharper 0.3–0.5 m detail, we can source higher-resolution commercial imagery for key milestones.
Yes. Sentinel-2 is open data from the EU Copernicus programme and ESA, free to use and publish — including commercially — with attribution. Every Drishti timeline carries the required credit.
Anywhere on Earth. Just send the location (a pin, address, or coordinates) and the period you care about, and we'll build the timeline.
