Reducing the risk of bird strikes using satellite images and Ascend’s Normalised Difference Water index software (NDWI)
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.
AMBROSIA
Status date: 14 August 2018
The ESA-Ambrosia food safety and traceability platform combines Blockchain technology, IoT, Satellite Earth Observation (SatEO) and GNSS Satellite Navigation to achieve maximum automation, security, and transparency of the food supply chains.
WELLACTIVE
Status date: 14 December 2018
WELLACTIVE is a Silver Fitness & Leisure Platform helping Seniors perform outdoorrecreational activities tailored in real-time to their personal abilities and interests, combining “physical, cerebral and social” undertakings shaped for “impairment and accessibility”.
Entocycle - Accelerating Insect-Based Protein Production
Status date: 05 December 2018
Entocycle has assessed the viability of space-based services for the production of sustainable protein.
Star Point
Status date: 14 December 2018
Apply the ESA’s DrMUST LoOP outlier detection model to find anomalies in financial trading data and in time-aggregate sales and trading performance measures. Provide rich real-time alerts to sales people and traders when anomalies are detected.
NaturAgeing
Status date: 12 December 2018
Smart digital solutions for healthy ageing through improvement of outdoor lifestyle of the elderly.
SPACEWHALE
Status date: 11 December 2018
SPACEWHALE is an innovative, semi-automated approach based on deep-learning techniques to detect large whales from VHR satellite images. It forms the bridge between space asset providers and stakeholders in need of population assessments of large whales to increase our ability to survey areas out of reach for traditional methods such as ship and aerial surveys.
LUMEN
Status date: 28 August 2018
LUMEN provides a fully integrated end-to-end solution for real time monitoring and critical situation management with medium sized RPAS that can operate beyond line of sight.
The service is demonstrated with two specific use cases representative for the target market: flood extend mapping and maritime coastal monitoring.
TransparentForests
Status date: 07 December 2016
TransparentForests, a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) for mapping and data management, is designed to increase the credibility and transparency of the FSC certification process. It supports all stakeholders in engaging with, and improving the certification process. It creates opportunities for operational efficiency across the certification service delivery chain. The TransparentForests concept has applications in forest insurance, finance and biomass energy.
TransparentForests (FS)
Status date: 14 August 2015
Forest products such as paper, wood and composite materials are used in everything from construction to news distribution and energy generation, yet they may represent considerable environmental and social impacts. Today, knowing the origin and life cycle of product constituents is important for both retailers and consumers. Major corporations do not like to be associated with poor forest management: it is bad for business and for customer relations.
Space Applications using Animal tracking data
Status date: 30 November 2018
The aim of the feasibility study is to evaluate a service for monitoring wildlife and farm animals. The service consists of a hardware part (collars for the animals, buy or lease) and a software to be offered as software as a service. For users these two parts are transparent, and they rent an overall service for animal tracking.
DeSIRE II
Status date: 27 June 2017
DeSIRE II, Second Element of the ESA EDA RPAS Demonstration Roadmap, aims at developing and demonstrating a service based on a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) flying in Beyond Radio Line of Sight (BRLOS) using a dual satcom link supporting Command and Control (C2) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) functions.
The project also aims at demonstrating to the users the potential of RPAS complemented by satellite applications (Satcom, Satnav and Earth Observation) for developing new services for operations.
Project objectives are pursued by means of a real flight campaign using Piaggio Aerospace P.1HH RPAS, and complemented by simulation and emulation activities.
