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.
POINTSAT
Status date: 01 February 2019
POINTSAT enables professional remote collaboration services of support, instruction and training in challenging conditions for the maritime, offshore, and energy industry sectors. The project integrates satellite infrastructure and augmented reality technology into a smart and reliable solution for all technical collaboration needs.
SFCS
Status date: 06 November 2018
Satellite Fruit Control System (SFCS) based on the use of smartphone, image processing and EGNSS technology combined in developed application will allow to estimate the quantity, physical and qualitative parameters of fruits planned for harvest.
Earthcube
Status date: 29 October 2018
Every year, millions of financial contracts whose value is indexed on hard commodities prices are traded on financial markets. Australia and Brazil represent 54% of the global supply, while China and India combined represent more than half of the global demand in hard commodities. It is thus key for investors to be able to forecast outputs and inputs in these countries where opacity remains high. Earthcube leverages satellites to tackle this issue.
TELEKAIROS®
Status date: 29 October 2018
TELEKAIROS® Fintech is a tool for financial and (re)insurance contracts that derive value from an underlying asset such a traditional stock, a bond or stock index. TELEKAIROS is capable to manage different kinds of risks, for example by increasing the efficiency of the underlying market because they lower unforeseen costs of purchasing an asset outright.
TTSat
Status date: 24 October 2018
The successive and recurring epidemiological crisis in developing countries have evidenced the need for more efficient organisation in terms of diseases early detection and warning as well as global emergency response capacity.
There is a clear opportunity to provide an integrated information system delivering real time data collection and alert from/to all sites in a territory where no telecommunication infrastructure is available in remote sites.
Built upon the epiSat business solution by Telemedicine Technologies S.A.S. and leveraging satellite terminals by CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites), the TTSat service will be deployed in collaboration with UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) in three countries, Benin, Guinea and Senegal.
IDiSPUTE
Status date: 06 November 2018
IDiSPUTE supports land use planning and identification of hazards for the population through the application of an innovative algorithm based on artificial intelligence applied to images from earth observation satellites.
SAGAS
Status date: 20 June 2018
The SAGAS feasibility study successfully completed the investigation of the viability of Multi-Source ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast) integrated services, bringing the terrestrial ADS-B (ADS-B-TER) and space based ADS-B (ADS-B-SAT) technologies with added-value from relevant ground and space based data-fusion and advance analytics for delivering the “best of truth” aircraft and airspace surveillance capabilities and value-added applications for the target markets and use scenarios.
MSW-Service
Status date: 30 October 2018
We study the feasibility of services that combine,
- High resolution now-casts of strong wind shear, turbulence and other severe weather phenomena, and information of large flocks of birds,
and
- Real-time information and forecasts of the global spatial distribution of space weather effects,
with
- accurate real time position information of aircraft,
to make aviation more safe, effective and economic, with less carbon footprint.
WILDWEGO
Status date: 16 February 2018
WILDWEGO (in the WILDLERNESS WE GO)is an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) ecotourism game fostering biodiversity conservation in wilderness areas by tourists “on the go” in parks and by their family, friends and social networks contacts “remotely”.
IceCast
Status date: 06 November 2018
IceCast demo project aims to develop and demonstrate a service based on IoT based capabilities combined with space assets, to help navigation planning in ice covered water areas. The solution fetches data from different data sources, stores the data, analyses it and provides output via graphical UI. There are three pilot customers who are piloting the solution in Baltic Sea and are giving input for solution development during the creation phase.
SAMoH
Status date: 17 September 2018
Satellite Earth Observation offers a rich source of information-rich temporal data for those charged with monitoring and managing natural habitats. The SAMoH platform helps to connect these users with imagery and provides analytical and visualization tools that do not require users to be remote sensing experts. Through the use of cloud storage, cloud processing power and open data cube technology, turning imagery into insight for a range of users in the environmental sector is quick, easy and cost-effective.
Assure
Status date: 17 September 2018
Assure is a system designed to alert the care community of someone suffering from social isolation
COHABIT
Status date: 12 September 2018
COHABIT monitors and assesses in real-time the whereabouts of large wild animals and dynamically generates geo-fenced alerts for visitors to avoid dangerous encounters and for farmers to protects their crops and livestock. Wildlife – human cohabitation is made possible through the use of data analytics, image-recognition, animal tracking and space technology.
dYbydX
Status date: 04 September 2018
Routing information to navigate the urban environment in accordance with users’ personal mobility needs.
Blue SIROS
Status date: 04 September 2018
The project investigates the technical feasibility and commercial viability of an operational system for marine route optimisation, which integrates modelling/forecasts of ocean currents based on near-real time satellite altimetry data services. The service supports commercial users in the maritime community with respect to fuel savings, competiveness and port logistics as well as ship safety.
