Building on the story published last February, this update highlights new advanced innovative Inverse-SAR (ISAR) algorithms developed and tailored for satellite platforms within the EO4Security ISAR project. These innovations support a wide range of use cases and represent significant progress in Earth observation for security applications. Techniques explored The following techniques were investigated: Parametric …
Contemporary history was characterized by heinous crimes committed during numerous conflicts that violated international law. Since 1998, when it was established, the International Criminal Court (ICC) took over the task “to investigate, prosecute and try individuals accused of committing the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, namely the crime …

If you’re looking to explore how space-based solutions are transforming our path toward a sustainable, low-carbon future, this year’s Living Planet Symposium in Vienna offers a rich lineup of sessions, agoras and networking opportunities focused on the Green Transition. The sessions will present how space solutions are powering the green transition and supporting climate action. They …
Advancements in space technologies in the last decades have laid the basis for a new era for space-based sensing exploiting Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging, spurred on by the potential to deploy constellations of micro-satellites equipped with antennae possessing significant gain and steering capabilities. Long dwell-time products with fine spatial resolution enable the extraction of …
It’s a great time to work in Earth Observation, with an unprecedented number of missions acquiring high-quality, freely accessible data. These are complemented by a whole ecosystem of analytic tools and software. The ESA Earth Observation Program (EOP) supports EO downstream industry in developing novel applications, and numerous innovative results are generated every year in …
The Big Data from Space 2025 (BiDS’25) event is the next milestone in a series of conferences (dating back to 2016) that bring together the global community to explore the transformative potential of space-derived big data and emerging technologies. Building on the success of previous editions, BiDS’25 will continue to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing …
Landslides across the Alps have major socio-economic impacts and represent a significant risk for the population, properties and infrastructures as well as a serious hindrance in the development of mountainous regions. Landslides are diverse in form and mechanism, ranging from rockfalls and debris flows to deep-seated rock instabilities and shallow rotational soil slides. Those shallow …
One of the most limiting factors in applying AI to EO is the complex and labour-intensive process of gathering and labelling EO data. This process is time-consuming and expensive, often requiring domain experts or in-situ verification to ensure accurate annotations. The Earth Observation Training Data Lab (EOTDL), developed in the context of an EO …
The ability to accurately characterize either fixed objects or moving targets is a critical need for security, defence and intelligence purposes. Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems are revolutionizing this domain, and advancements in Inverse SAR (ISAR) techniques offer unprecedented improvements in moving target identification and analysis. Current EO systems can provide very high-resolution (VHR) …
