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.
PLATIN
Status date: 30 April 2023
The aim of PLATIN is to develop a satcom-enabled platform to support flight operations in real-time (aircraft manufacturers’ flight tests, science flights, UAV surveillance flights). This service is a major evolution of the already existing PLANET service. Innovations in PLATIN are focusing on the integration of a new generation of Satcom (Iridium Certus) allowing new applicative services such as video/high-resolution images transmission or bulk telemetry thanks to higher throughputs.
MALIBU
Status date: 05 June 2023
AI-enabled services for private companies responsible for roads surveillance and monitoring, for Municipalities responsible for safety and comfort aspects towards the roads’ users but, at the same time, also needing to safeguard the municipality cash balance.
MALIBU leverages on the most up to date technologies (from satellites to AI) to provide users with agile, flexible, effective and economically advantageous solutions for road defects detection, both through an own web platform, or to be integrated in already available user’s systems (e.g., GIS).
The MALIBU on-board unit, thought and designed for the monitoring of asphalt’ s defects, can be installed on cars, vans or, for the mapping of a large part of the urban road fabric, on local buses fleet; that means an adaptive and functional solution that can provide an overall view and always updated status information of roads travelled daily by equipped vehicles.
All the information can be easily consulted on a web platform intended both as content management, for the management of statistical data and reports, and for data visualization for consulting the information directly on the map
In addition to the defects’ detection service, also a set of other sub-services is provided.
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.
CoCuRA
Status date: 05 June 2023
CoCuRA uses machine learning to automatically detect cotton fields on satellite imagery and remotely classify these fields based on their environmental impact.
CoCuRA
Status date: 27 July 2022
CoCuRA uses machine learning to automatically detect cotton fields on satellite imagery and remotely classify these fields based on their environmental impact.
