After the first two monthly challenges – challenge #1 on how the pandemic affected the logistics/supply chain and related air and water quality, and challenge #2 on combining socio-economic indicators into a single impact metric – new flexibility will be added for the upcoming opportunities. Note down in your calendar the next window for submission …
The project is an Application element of EO4ALPS Regional Initiative. It will develop 6 EO services on ecosystem mapping and monitoring in the alpine region, addressing the specific requirements of national and regional stakeholders and being sufficiently large in scope and content to strengthen regional cooperation across alpine countries: ecosystem mapping, forest disturbance, forest phenology, …
A new advanced InSAR processing service called SNAPPING (Surface motioN mAPPING) has just been deployed in the Geohazard Exploitation Platform (GEP). The potential of the service is illustrated in the context of the Samos (Greece) M7.0 seismic event of 30 October 2020. Based on the open source SNAP toolbox and StaMPS software, the …
This webinar, dedicated to anyone interested in building efficient platforms for EO data access and processing, will illustrate best practices when tackling large EO datasets in the cloud and demonstrate results obtained in the CODE-DE case study. Read more and register on the webinar page.
ESA actively promotes uptake of state-of-the-art ICT platform resources for EO exploitation by European research activities. This uptake phase is supported by opportunities to access these resources free-at-point-of-use, implemented via vouchers mechanisms. Today two initiatives are in place, one sponsored by ESA, one sponsored by the European Commission allowing research activities to request vouchers that can …
Four out of the best weekly contributions to the Custom Script Contest – focused on the support of space assets during the COVID-19 crisis – were invited to upscale their ideas to the European level. Two of them have now been selected for integration into the RACE (Rapid Action Coronavirus Earth observation) dashboard. The winning …
While IPR protection will have to rely mainly on contractual mechanisms, technology is increasingly offering means to enforce IPR protection via technical solutions. The study was to identify the approaches that are ready for operational use and can be implemented as part of the common architecture. The implementation strategy defined aftr user consultation entailed development …
EO Φ-week gives you the chance to connect and network with scientists, educators, developers, students, start-ups, global industries and institutions in the field of space. Join to: Hear about the latest trends both in EO digital and sensing technologies and science. Learn about how ICT is revolutionising EO today and tomorrow, and the resulting opportunities. …
openEO platform is being implemented as a versatile cloud-based processing and analytics environment for Earth Observation data. It is being established to address the prevailing capability gap in cloud-based platforms for big EO data processing and analytics. The concepts builds on a federated architecture with initial deployments in EODC, TerraScope, CreoDIAS and the EuroDataCube. openEO …
The EASEQC project aimed at expanding the use of AI/ML for quality control of EO products. The traditional approach to quality control, usually involving deterministic models together with considerable manual intervention, is no longer feasible given increasing data volumes of EO data archives. ML/AI has potential to make the process of quality control more efficient. …
