I bet it’d be easy to train an image tracking model to find this off satellite imagery.

There was a bunch of analysis over on /r/wallstreetbets a while back based on satellite imagery of roads in China, using them to estimate coronavirus recovery levels for factories there.

https://www.planet.com/ has 3-5 meter resolution satellite images updated daily for almost all the land surface in the world. Their business model is to launch many lower power and resolution satellite with a few year life rather than launching a few super big and expensive satellite.

Clients can then get historical imagery of a target location to track daily developments (for things like deforestation, crop health, etc.).
