Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) is intelligence derived from the analysis of imagery collected by satellite, aerial photography, or other visual collection platforms. IMINT analysts examine photographs and video to identify military installations, infrastructure, vehicle movements, and environmental changes. Open source IMINT increasingly leverages commercial satellite imagery services accessible to civilian investigators.
