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.
EBX4EDU
Status date: 24 March 2022
For individuals and educational institutions, Earth Blox makes access to satellite data easy by removing the barriers to access and understanding. Earth Blox quickly empowers students to go from sensing to sense-making, whether they are in a lab or at home.
EPICO19
Status date: 28 January 2022
EPICO19 is a web-app designed to support public health technicians and decision-makers managing epidemic control. The tool is a GIS-based (Geographic Information System) DSS (Decision Support System), driven by an epidemiological machine learning engine that provides forecasts of the outbreak spread. EPICO19 exploits Artificial Intelligence applied to Very-High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery and SatEO to evaluate population’s vulnerability due to pollutants exposure.
‘feed from the field’
Status date: 17 January 2022
At the moment, the ‘feed from the field’ is an emerging technology that takes live content from entertainment and sports sources and publishes it worldwide to mobile phones. The technology ensures the availability of the content to the user with minimum delay from the time the content is available to it being on the user’s smart device. This process is manual and requires operator intervention.
MELODY JUNIOR
Status date: 15 February 2022
MELODY is a robotic telemedicine tool, which allows a medical expert to remotely perform an ultrasound exam on a distant patient. It offers access to diagnostic capabilities for remote populations requiring ultrasonography. While it has proven to be effective on adults already, MELODY is however not approved yet for paediatric use. This activity aims therefore to develop and validate a solution allowing children to also benefit from remote ultrasound scan. This is of high interest during the COVID-19 crisis, as it will avoid travel to the rare paediatric centres while protecting medical experts from a direct exposure to the virus.
CONTACTLESS
Status date: 28 April 2022
Contactless Car Rental, transforms the car rental experience from being counter-centric to app-centric. It ensures a car rental company can offer a service where the rental customer can get the right car in the right location at the right time, providing much greater convenience while removing the need for user/staff contact.
CHC
Status date: 29 June 2022
The CHC Project delivers satellite connectivity to health care sites within Cornwall & Scottish Highlands where terrestrial connectivity may be poor. The project team is validating with technology within the health care sector by evaluating the functionality of e-health software platforms on the satellite provided network, and assess benefits of satellite enabled healthcare to staff and patients.
Golf Data Intellect
Status date: 14 March 2022
Technology that automatically records every round, every hole and every shot. Then delivers actionable insights into over 100 statistics that relate directly to your own golf game. The technology works in the background to identify the exact position of every shot. The data is then used to generate statistics, analytics and insights through an array of engaging features that improve a golfer’s game.
VIDA
Status date: 20 January 2022
VIDA is an earth observation and AI-powered custom software that enables data-driven investment, business and policy decisions in rural villages in Africa and Asia. → www.villagedata.io
Safeblock
Status date: 27 November 2020
Building safety is opaque and insufficient with constant reports of those responsible for safety failing in their duties. In light of recent tragedies like the Grenfell fire, improving trust in building safety for all stakeholders is key to enabling a strong and continuous safety culture in the housing sector.
HERMES
Status date: 28 April 2022
To provide end users, i.e. Hospital Organizations, Medical Screening and First Aid Units, with an efficient services ecosystem for the monitoring, management and prevention of Medical Emergency from pandemic such as COVID-19.
S.T.E.L.L.E.
Status date: 17 January 2022
S.T.E.L.L.E. will give rise to SCUOLAB – SDA (Satellite Data Augmented), an educational platform with interactive and experiential contents produced from satellite Earth Observation data and based on issues of global importance such as climate change, melting glaciers, rising sea temperatures in order to give the teachers support with innovative resources to conduct both in-person and remote education experiences.
