Our innovative use of satellite imagery and actuarial tools results in robust insurance products that cater to real-world needs.
Space for UAM
Status date: 04 August 2023
The main objectives of the Space for UAM Feasibility Study is to carry out an in-depth analysis on the technical feasibility and economic viability of space-based services and solutions in support of the development and/or operations of UAM for use cases of interest to the user communities, and/or its integration into the air traffic.
CUES
Status date: 04 August 2023
The Real Estate value chain is currently unable to tap into and utilize the efficiency potentials inherent in the urban built environment. Many office buildings are underutilized – void periods are often long and costly. CUES provides stakeholders in real estate with a surface to visualize and understand and improve asset utilization.
Eyes on Plastic
Status date: 26 July 2022
Eyes on Plastic provides a service solution, which combines multiple technical components into a joint mapping and monitoring solution for plastic in the aquatic environment. By flying high with satellites and diving deep with Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles, plastic litter can be monitored at all angles and scales.
Hand for U
Status date: 31 July 2023
“Hand for U” is an application that allows People in Need and Volunteers to easily contact each other and respectively, express their needs and offer their help on behalf of the Volunteering Organisations. “Hand for U” aims to create a safe space for People in Need and Volunteers to self-organise and create an empathetic community.
Telecense
Status date: 31 March 2023
Telecense allows Companies, Authorities, International Organizations and Labs to assess and anticipate population growth and migration in emerging countries.
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order to build Telecense, a service that provides geo-localized population estimation where censuses are unavailable or outdated.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.
