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.
SatCBRN
Status date: 12 July 2019
SatCBRN explores the use of satellite services for surveillance and hazard management of incidents involving release of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear threat agents.
SFM
Status date: 04 July 2019
The objective of the SFM project is to formulate an integrated system-service aimed at monitoring and providing real-time information to first responders and decision makers, about the status of the area impacted by a release of agent chemical, bacteriological, and radiological even with explosives (CBRNe).
RSFPS Service
Status date: 25 July 2018
The extension of the TIKKA project on the REMOTE SENSING FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM is results of the positive evaluation of the TIKKA project by the forest users. The new Service will be based on the TIKKA project conception that has been evaluated and implemented during the demonstration phase for the Forest Users. The service will be implemented and provided to the brand-new market which are the National Parks in Poland. The beneficiary of the RSFPS during the demonstration phase of the service will be the Kampinoski National Park, which is the second biggest National Park in Poland (385 km2) and in 2000 year has been listed on UNESCO List.
MiLoW-RRS
Status date: 23 July 2018
MiLoW-RRS is an innovative weather service based on space technologies and space derived data that provides outdoor enthusiasts a one-stop-shop solution for planning multi-day outdoor trips in complex terrains. The service combines maps, elevation profiles and route descriptions with accurate and reliable weather forecasts for planning and undertaking outdoor activities.
DW-TRAC
Status date: 09 July 2019
DW-TRAC (Dangerous Waste Tracking & Tracing) lays the foundation for the implementation of a sustainable service for real-time tracking and tracing of dangerous/hazardous waste in Europe, providing a better service and transparency for customers, carriers and authorities.
BIGMIG
Status date: 02 August 2019
The study aims at identifying possible applications of space data (imagery, navigation data, satellite communications etc.) and other (“big”) data sources to help and improve the mitigation, readiness and response to the human migration phenomena, and to assess their technical and economic viability.
Big data for migration study
Status date: 13 September 2019
“Big Data” refers to new computational capabilities, that warehouse huge set of data, technologies and analytics in order to extract added value from “bulky information” in a reasonable amount of time. The increasing possibilities offered by satellite technologies integrated with collateral data can support the complexity of the migration flow monitoring
UKSRI
Status date: 14 June 2019
Field-level seasonal weather predictions can empower growers to make better-informed decisions, reducing their food waste and greenhouse emissions. We have demonstrated a working pilot of a new seasonal forecast system that combines EC Copernicus model outputs with daily weather analytics to improve long-term rainfall predictability. Applications include summer planning for irrigation, cultivar selection and decisions about crop mixes to mitigate crops losses from drought, floods or climate-linked pathogens. UKSRI has identified British growers, producers and agronomists who could benefit from these services.
ALBA-TROSS
Status date: 10 April 2019
Alba Orbital is working to develop satellite applications which utilize each aircraft’s unique ‘Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast’ (ADS-B) signature. ADS-B signals contain data on flight path, and flight weather conditions, and can be used to enhance global weather forecasts, verify aircraft carbon emissions, and aid in Mayday scenarios, especially when fused with other satellite and ground based data-sets.
AgeSpot Feasibility Study
Status date: 18 May 2018
AgeSpot provides THE starting point for any innovative technological solution addressing ageing populations. It enables efficient targeting of the silver economy and offers precise demographic data on WHERE and HOW MANY age specific classes currently live and will likely live in the FUTURE. With AgeSpot a new Earth Observation (EO) supported business intelligence service is offered.
Poolspot
Status date: 14 June 2019
INVITE ALL SWIMMING POOL OWNERS IN YOUR (E-)SHOP
We automatically detect swimming pool owners at wide scale thanks to our identification algorithms using satellite imagery.
Take the opportunity to reach new clients with our direct marketing service.
CERASAT
Status date: 20 March 2019
CERASAT aims to provide reliable, real-time and global rainfall measurement services. It extracts the rainfall information from the signalling data generated in satellite communication (SatCom) networks by employing advanced machine learning and signal processing techniques. CERASAT can complement existing rainfall measurement solutions e.g. rain gauges and weather radars.
GEOA
Status date: 20 June 2018
Geoaudio is an ‘Augmented Reality meets Audio’ experience that enhances the tourism offer for outdoor attractions in a non-obtrusive way that does not detract from the natural environment. Users experience an immersive soundscape of voice, music and sound effects triggered by GNSS derived locations as they move through the landscape.
RGB
Status date: 10 January 2019
Our latest solution for remote graphics allows sports federations and content owners to adapt TV graphical overlays for different geographies without multiplying the number of feeds, thereby reducing costs and maximising the event value for partners and sponsors.
