Development of novel methods to characterize environmental impact of summer tourism activities in the Eastern Alps (AT and IT) and support citizen safety. Development of novel methods based on low cost EO data (S2 mainly) and mobile telephone data to characterize environmental impact.
The project is a follow up of the ESA funded OSIRIS project, aimed at developing a series of modules for maritime surveillance into a prototype deployed on a shared processing system with a tested full chain for Sentinel 1 and 2 data. The team performed a survey on most commonly used spaceborne sensors for thermal …
The BICEP project is an innovative effort to better understand the biological carbon pump in the oceans using satellite data. By mapping the distribution of phytoplankton and other satellite-based products of different pools and fluxes of biological carbon in the surface ocean, the project seeks to improve our understanding of the role of the ocean …
The AlpLakes project aims at providing operational products based on a combination of remote sensing and hydrodynamic models. ALPLAKES is a continuation of the CORESIM (ESA SEOM S2-4Sci Land and Water) project based on the recommendations provided during the CORESIM roadmap. While many studies have focused on ecosystem variability over a latitudinal gradient (Woolway and …
The goal of Pixstart is to establish a new EO-based service dedicated to the foresters, denoted Woodwatch. This new service will help them to optimize their forest management thanks to ingestion of satellite derived maps into dedicated GIS environments. The present project will consist of developing the scientific part (algorithms) of the Woodwatch service. The …
This project is building on the results of a precursor ESA activity (“Feasibility Study on Enhanced Land Resources Monitoring Based on Synergy use of Sentinel-2 TimeSeries and VHR Images” (SEN2VHR).”). The precursor proved the technical feasibility of combining Sentinel-2 time series with VHR images. An initial SEN2VHR value added product was designed and verified in …
The Nemo-HD microsatellite was recently launched by SPACE-SI. This is a very agile multi-payload spacecraft that explores new EO concepts by combining multispectral imaging with video acquisitions for low latency and real-time EO services. In this project the remarkable capabilities of the Nemo-HD microsatellite will be applied to rapidly prototype new EO operations dedicated to …
The project created a service platform providing reliable information on changes in built-up areas, derived from Sentinel-2 data in a fully automatic manner using image classification algorithms. These algorithms, selected for the tool, are successfully operated and validated in other Land Cover mapping activities conducted by the consortium partners. Results of the image classification contributed …
EO4YEMEN aims at exploring new technological and scientific approaches to overcome existing limitations and provide an effective support to NGO in Yemen for the planning and implementation of on-field operations. The focus is on: Super resolution algorithms applied to Sentinel-2 AI based Change detection Exploitation of new sources of satellite data ( VHR night times …
