The TEP Urban platform offers the possibility to define and conduct on-demand processing and production of thematic content based on multi-mission remote sensing imagery (in particular ESA missions including the Sentinel suite and Landsat imagery) and additional data sources (e.g., cadastral data, statistics, socio-economic data). The additional data might either be publicly available on the platform or individually uploaded …
In this instalment of the webinar series, we will take a look at the process of integrating your own processor. We will go through the possibilities with respect to where to deploy your processor, how do you access the data available via UTEP and how do you retrieve the results of your processing. Join via …
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 …
