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. …
DYNAMOS is being implemented as a cloud-based, dynamic mosaicking service, initially focussing on Sentinel-2 data. The service will provide users the ability to request the creation of large area mosaics according to their requirements, primarily in terms of area and time frames, image selection and prioritisation considerations. DYNAMOS is building on the concept of dynamic …
SEN3GCP is conceived as a service that will provide GCPs (Ground Control Points) and precise co-registration of EO products as an automated service accessible via the web and API. The service will be based on a global database of GCPs that is derived from SAR imagery (3D coordinates including height information) and for which corresponding …
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ESA invite EO Scientists, Value Adders and Platform operators to a free Earth Observation Applications-to-the-Data presentation webinar on September 8, 2020. The webinar will consist of 6 speakers presenting their experiences in implementing the (EO) Applications-to-the-Data draft specifications that have been developed over the last few years as part …
The objectives of this activity are to (i) develop and validate innovative methodologies allowing to optimize the synergetic capacity offered by satellite data, in situ measurements and numerical models for improving the retrieval of upper-layer ocean circulation products over FOUR high-priority pilot areas chosen as to represent at best the diversity of the world ocean …
