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.
DateGIS Demo
Status date: 12 February 2019
DateGIS Demo is the follow-on demonstration project from the ARTES 20 DateGIS feasibility study completed in 2016.
DateGIS is an integrated Geo-information System (GIS) for Date Palm precision agriculture. Objective of DateGIS is to provide information products and services on date farms and palm trees for:
- Government institutions, specifically for the following needs:
- Date farm and palm registration service;
- Regional / national Red Palm Weevil control management program;
- Date sector (farmers), specifically for the following needs:
- Increase yield, productivity and quality of date farming;
- Reduction of date farm losses due to Red Palm Weevil infestation.
Currently the main threat for the global date sector is the Red Palm Weevil plague, so the first focus of DateGIS is on service items 1.b and 2.b (the most urgent needs), with a clear and sustainable long-term growth model for service items 1.a and 2.a.
The key asset of the DateGIS is information supply chain management (“from big data to farm information”) which includes building a strong network of remote sensing data suppliers, aerial survey service providers, knowledge partners and local network / sales channels.
NARWHALS
Status date: 05 February 2019
NARWHALS objective is to realise a feasibility study of a service capable to provide high accuracy positioning by monitoring and mitigating the ionospheric impact on GNSS navigation in the Arctic environment. Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (ISMB) and SpacEarth Technology (SET/INGV) propose a possible solution by combining their expertise in low power hardware and managing ionospheric data.
DateGIS -
Status date: 22 October 2016
DateGIS is an integrated Geo-information System (GIS) for Date Palm precision agriculture. Objective of DateGIS is to provide information products and services on date farms and palm trees for:
a) Provide date farm management information to increase date production, quality and yield;
b) Development and management of a national RPW control program;
c) Reduction of farm financial losses caused by RPW infestation;
d) Improve water use efficiency, irrigation and fertilizing management.
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.
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.
Watch Out!
Status date: 19 December 2018
While wearable tracker gadgets become mainstream, they fail to provide a solution for elderly fall prevention. This new algorithm from Gait Up empowers existing wearables with smart fusion of GNSS and IMU for simple and accurate activity metrics related to elderly falls, like gait speed. The algorithm is implemented in a smartwatch application, satisfying requests from national healthcare institutions.

Geospatial data analytics for (re)insurance
NITREOS
Status date: 16 January 2019
NITREOS is a service platform that serves organic farmers, as well as conventional, in carrying out daily activities in a more efficient, profitable and sustainable way, as compared to the practices they used until now.
NITREOS provides the following services to farmers and agricultural consultants: i) Irrigation Scheduling; ii) Variable Rate Fertilization; iii) Crop Growth Monitoring; and iv) Yield Estimation.
SENSA
Status date: 05 March 2018
The SENSA project aims at a collaborative platform supporting âsustainable & responsible tourismâ in protected remote areas, such as natural parks, natural reserves and historical sites.
ArTeK
Status date: 20 June 2017
ArTeK aims at developing an innovative, effective and sustainable service offered to Properties managers to have a complete and systematically updated view and enhanced awareness of the state of conservation of immovable Cultural Properties and to support their management and fruition. ArTeK integrated service builds on space assets (earth observation, navigation and satellite communication) as well as additional technologies (drones, on site equipment, etc.) in relation to specific user needs.
Wild boar project
Status date: 14 January 2019
The key product/service is to provide a monitoring of damages to agricultural and environmental areas caused by wild boar (Sus scrofa) using remote sensing data. The technical key idea is to upscale from the investigation of local areas via high resolution aerial images to larger areas via satellite data.
ANHS
Status date: 10 January 2019
The market opportunity identified by DHI GRAS is to provide customers with updated information of navigational hazards including coastlines and submerged reefs in the Arctic.
Building Stock Monitor Service
Status date: 09 January 2019
The proposed Building Stock Monitor Service is a service to aid municipalities with monitoring the entire building stock within their geographical borders by using satellite imagery from Sentinels 1 and 2.
The revisit time of these satellites give unprecedented update frequency as opposed to current technology that typically involves fly-bys at high costs.
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.
WONDER
Status date: 21 December 2018
The targeted solution is an automated, cloud-based digital service for water quality monitoring which could be utilized globally. The solution builds on earth observation, global positioning, crowd sourcing, internet of things (IoT) and predictive analysis.
