Diginove has developed earth observation algorithms and demographic models in order to build Telecense, a service that provides geo-localized population estimation where censuses are unavailable or outdated.
Intelligent Roadworks-Smart Infrastructure Planning
Status date: 31 July 2023
This study investigated the feasibility of using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to assess the roughness, as a proxy of quality, of roads in the Flanders region (Belgium). Road authorities could benefit from this solution as follows: (i) The need for (expensive) manual inspection decreases, and (ii), this provides a high-level objectivized overview of road quality in their operating area.
RESIST
Status date: 25 July 2023
RESIST provides worldwide coverage for detecting GNSS Spoofers and Jammers anywhere over the Earth’s surface. The system relies on the CMCU, Central Machine learning Computation Unit and ground and space recorded data.
DigiFarm
Status date: 17 July 2023
DigiFarm develops deep neural network models for automatically detecting the highest accurate field boundaries and seeded acres worldwide, through our model for deeply resolving Sentinel-2 from 10m to 1m resolution. This reduces both the cost and time of current manual digitisation by over 95%.
SkyWake
Status date: 10 July 2023
For the detections of water leaks, Earth-Observation can play a fundamental role. By boarding on General Aviation Aircrafts Thermographic, Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radars sensor, and crossing their high-resolution outcomes with satellite interferometric data analyses, sub-surface phenomena may be investigated, understanding how water distributes across the networks of urban environments allowing to potentially address water losses location.
INVENTA
Status date: 07 April 2021
The INVENTA project intends to carry out the feasibility study of an innovative service able to increase the fruition, accessibility and sustainability of historical/cultural sites through the integration of Virtual & Augmented Reality with Satellite Navigation and Earth Observation. The service will be based on an innovative mobile App using 5G network.
PROFEO
Status date: 10 July 2023
The consortium provides a web-based platform that allows users to get actionable property level flood hazard insights at “the push of a button” combining existing flood data, meteorological data and archived as well as current satellite images. The service is accessible to non-experts, providing flood hazard maps and alerts tailored to the needs of the clients in the real estate domain, and can be scaled to wide geographical areas.
GridEyeS
Status date: 19 October 2020
GridEyeS AI service contextualizes satellite, weather, drone and other operational data at scale, enabling fast and frequent monitoring of power lines at a fraction of the cost.
SC
Status date: 28 June 2023
SmartCane helps sugarcane estates and farmers in Mozambique boost productivity and crop yields through remote sensing derived crop and management advice sent via SMS messages and phone-friendly pdf maps. These messages address actionable advice and support in decision-making and resource management, promoting sustainable practices and problem-solving within cooperatives. Estates and farmers can now make informed decisions based on real-time data for maximum impact.
EARTH SCAN
Status date: 27 June 2023
EARTHSCAN is a Real-Time Healthcare System (RTHS) for detecting and diagnosing polyps during colonoscopy using cloud computing accessed via satellites.
PSVE
Status date: 22 June 2023
PSVE (Port Stockpile Volume Estimation) is a product DBX is developing within the ESA BASS programme; the PSVE module aims to collect and harmonise global, highly fragmented, dry-bulk commodities data in near real-time, by applying state of the art machine learning classification algorithms and establishing a strong correlation between market trends and the localization of dry bulk stockpiles.
UpGreen
Status date: 19 June 2023
UpGreen helps cities to realize more effective urban green policies. It is based on actionable insights on the actual and future state of urban green as well as on the greenery vision model proposition, enabling strategic decision-making, and identification of the most effective urban green projects and policies.
MUSE/ ISP
Status date: 05 June 2023
Autonomous driving requires precise and reliable position information. ANavS develops in the project MUSE an Integrated Sensor Platform (ISP) which includes 3 GNSS receivers, an IMU, two cameras, a Lidar and a powerful sensor fusion for precise positioning.
SmartMetRoadMap
Status date: 05 June 2023
SmartMetRoadMap is focused on updating a platform dedicated to the provision of tailored services for the operational management of meteorological risks on roads.
The updated platform is based on an AI-driven fusion of high-resolution NWP output and heterogeneous measurements captured in real-time, possibly also via 5G, and is specifically designed to make the most of satellite weather monitoring data.
