Abstract
The main objective of this study is to develop a tool and methodology for monitoring troop movement along the border, which can
be applied in the future for Thailand’s border
and other military missions by evaluating satellite
images with change detection technique and
JavaSript code in Google Earth Engine. In this
study, Russia’s troop movement at Ukraine-Russia
border in Klintsy base, Pogonovo and Opuk
training area during the years of 2019-2021 were
analyzed as case study.
The study results showed that Russia’s
troops have been built up and trained before
the Russia invasion of Ukraine about 1-2 years ago. The tool and methodology of this study can
indicate the locations and time periods of the frequency of Russia’s troop movements at
the Ukrainian border. Thus, this study can be
applied as a guideline for developing a tool
for monitoring troop movement in an area of
Thailand’s border and supporting other military
operations.
