The project prototyped a prototype of a processing workflow for improved Sentinel-1 backscatter data, providing a temporal stack of analysis ready data (ARD) that can be integrated into a data cube system allowing to access the data in a spatial and temporal domain.
The CrowdVal project had five main objectives: Develop new innovative sampling schemes that allow a stratification and bias removal via road networks and that take other constraints into account for in-situ data collection; Enhance LACO-Wiki and LACO-Wiki Mobile with the new sampling strategies, functionality for opportunistic map evaluation on the ground, and the addition of …
The advent, with Sentinel-2, of a satellite constellation offering High Resolution (HR), high revisit time and free images has raised encouraging hopes amongst Coastal States and the Maritime community of Users who, in 2018, still suffer from the persistence of inaccurate nautical charts. These expectations however did not materialise because the Government agencies in charge …
One of the most significant unknown factors in marine debris is the flux of plastic from land based sources into the marine environment. This project is testing techniques to combine EO and UAV data to detect different types and volumes of plastic in order to establish a methodology to characterize this flux in hotspot areas …
Indonesia counts more than 16 million ha of peatland, and a substantial part of these have been converted into plantations (in particular oil palm and acacia) or have been degraded. Both plantations and degraded peatlands are generally drained, primarily through networks of canals. The Indonesian government is committed to improve peatland management and has established …
Usually, construction projects are structured through different phases: analysis, planning, design, construction, closing and post monitoring. The project execution phase (Phase 2 – Construction) is usually the longest phase in the project life cycle and it typically consumes the most energy and the most resources. Global construction companies cannot be physically present all along the …
A range of EO based prototype capabilities have been developed and tested in relation to the implementation of REDD+. With the launch of Sentinel-1A/B and Sentinel-2A/B, a new era of frequent coverage of the earth surface by high resolution (HR) satellite imagery was initiated. Together with the Landsat and other satellite missions, it is now …
There is considerable interest in the use of Hydrogen as an alternative to hydrocarbon energy sources. However naturally occurring sources of hydrogen are not common and historically there has been significant controversy as to mechanisms that may be related to the generation of hydrogen. It appears that natural emanations of hydrogen have been detected in …
Historically for land application, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery has often been seen only as as complement to optical remote sensing in cloud covered areas. There are several reasons for this: 1) the threshold of interpretation and understanding of SAR imagery is often perceived as very high to an untrained user, 2) the human …
