BROWSE PROJECTS
Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
AirTracks
Status date: 05 July 2018
Situational awareness is key in the aviation industry. Whereas many flight information services for scheduled air services transporting passengers, mail or cargo already exist, solutions for other parts of the aviation industry are scarce good. AirTracks is a dedicated flight information service solution that focusses on customer information needs in the fields of UAV and general aviation.
SatPDT-Demo
Status date: 26 December 2023
The SatPDT project aims to develop an innovative satellite-based digital product, called SmartPDT, that enables a safe and effective daylight therapy (daylight photodynamic therapy or dPDT) of skin pre-cancer and cancer, e.g. Actinic Keratosis (AK).
SP4GO
Status date: 26 December 2023
SP4GO is a solution to support the maintenance of electric power distribution infrastructures. SP4GO uses cost-effective and high-resolution satellite data to reduce inefficiencies and maintenance costs of high voltage power lines by detecting potentially dangerous situations related to the overgrowth of vegetation, the construction of new buildings that come too close to infrastructure and detecting land terrain change.
SP4GO is targeted to electric power Transmission System Operators (TSO) and electric power Distribution System Operators (DSO).
Space-to-Tree S-2-3
Status date: 26 December 2023
S-2-3 a multi-scale/parametric system aimed at monitoring the health status of trees within parks of historical-cultural or naturalistic interest. Objectives: defend the beauty of the tree, archaeological and monumental heritage; monitor the environment; manage risks to people or property. The data is enjoyed through webGIS platform with dual functionality: cataloguing trees; Monitoring the dynamics of trees with respect to wind.
AlertSat Portal
Status date: 26 December 2023
The AlertSat satellite constellation is to deliver Alerts directly to its users, through AlertSat Portal - when critical information has been detected and there is still time to act upon it.
Maritime port container activity zones
Status date: 26 December 2023
This geo fencing data base provides the shipping industry with container door opening event qualification, operational deficiencies tracking, container mishandling events locations and CO2 shipment emission data tracking.
OPT4SOL.AI
Status date: 26 December 2023
A smarter way to identify the location for your next solar project. OPT4SOL uses satellite images, GIS, and AI to support site selection for new utility scale PV projects. All the data in one place. The system considers every aspect, from exclusion zones and regulatory limits to distances from power lines and areas of high cunsomption supported by AI powered analysis and scoring of potential locations.
ABSeaD
Status date: 26 December 2023
ABSeaD focuses on environmental conservation. It utilizes advanced machine learning models to analyse Earth Observation data for the strategic management of Posidonia Oceanica seagrass beds, crucial for carbon sequestration.
5SEnSES
Status date: 19 December 2023
The project entails developing a software platform for real-time measurement and quantitative monitoring of gas and/or oil extraction sites. This integrates data from seismic, satellite (SAR), GPS, IoT networks and correlating the Earth's surface movements, seismic activity and pore pressure through an AI engine. The results can be employed for industrial monitoring and predictive simulations.
WaSat
Status date: 12 December 2023
The Norwegian company Ocean Oasis is developing a wave powered desalination technology to increase access to safe and affordable water in water scarce coastal regions. The capacity to efficiently evaluate the wave resource in specific locations allows for production forecasting and pricing. Earth Observation data has been used to improve the accuracy of the analysis tool.
Soil health space-based evaluation
Status date: 12 December 2023
The Soil health space-based evaluation project leverages SatEO to generate time series capturing historical land use and farming practices on plots. These time series are then correlated to soil measurements in order to explain the impact of farming practices on the health of cultivated soils and identify improvement levers.
Blue Belt
Status date: 01 November 2012
Embedded into the SAT-AIS context, this IAP Demonstration Project aims to support the EMSA Blue Belt project. Providing space-based AIS data, it seeks to complement the terrestrial AIS data and provide an added-value source of information for Customs Authorities interested in maritime situational awarenees for vessels and geographical focus areas.
AGRO-BIOMES
Status date: 11 December 2023
The AGRO-BIOMES Kickstart activity aims at understanding the biodiversity market level readiness in four major agricultural markets segments, proposing a few architectures scenario based on the <geosys/> platform capabilities, testing biodiversity-related analytics with ground truth and Copernicus data and finally evaluating economical, technical, and scientific risks and mitigations plan to be considered prior to a go-to-market decision.
VADUS
Status date: 11 December 2023
The project VADUS provides to tourists the opportunity to enjoy cultural heritage that is not easily accessible to improve the enhancement of archaeological and museum sites. VADUS,realizes a metaphorical safe “way” of a virtual nature that overcomes physical and cultural barriers related to difficult access, reduced comprehensibility for the lack of some significant parts, presence of hidden or difficult to interpret cultural aspects.
