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.
Invisible Worlds
Status date: 23 November 2018
Rezatec and the Eden Project will explore how geospatial data analytics could benefit individual growers or forest owners with small areas under management, by providing commercially valuable and actionable decision support tools accessed via a self-service, digital platform. In addition, these analytics could be provided as an operational service to other creative visual installations at museums and institutions around the world.
RAPSODY
Status date: 19 November 2018
RAPSODY, a project led by TEKEVER, will demonstrate the use of remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS) in a wide area maritime context, through the execution of search & rescue and pollution monitoring missions. The missions will be executed in near-real scenarios over the Atlantic Ocean. The Satcom-enabled RPAS will be fully prepared and customized to perform these maritime missions, including the integration of specific payloads and the usage of specially tailored mission-oriented data fusion, data compression and automatic feature recognition and identification algorithms.
AquaFarm
Status date: 16 November 2018
Aquafarm brings together satellite data and Soil-Plant-Air models to provide operational services to Farmers’ service providers as well as national institutions related with crop development and forecast.
Soft-Alpha
Status date: 16 November 2018
Soft commodities, such as soy and sugar, and their related financial derivatives, are widely traded on exchanges worldwide. At present, production data is only made available at fixed points through the year (usually after the growing season). The Soft-Alpha project provides predictive analysis on soft commodity crop performance, in a sector that is currently dependent on historical data. The project uses EO derived data products and analytics, to monitor performance on a dynamic basis, offering unique insights that not only provide competitive advantage to commodity traders, but also improve food security and increase transparency in regard to sustainability issues in the various supply chains.
SAMIPS
Status date: 15 November 2018
The main objective of the project is to investigate user needs, technological feasibility and economic sustainability of the implementation of the EO-based solution allowing for detection and monitoring of habitats affected by invasive plant species.
Space Applications for Wildlife
Status date: 15 November 2018
The services helps private and public organizations with assessing, monitoring, preventing, managing, and planning strategy for wildlife conservation.
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.
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.
UKSRI
Status date: 06 November 2018
More detailed long-term weather predictions empower growers to make better-informed decisions in their fields. More reliable outlooks of summer water demand improve planning for irrigation, better select crop varieties and mixes for drought / floods or climate-linked pathogens that thrive in humid conditions. UKSRI delivers seasonal climate forecasts to UK growers to improve their crop performance.
TSMF_10CM
Status date: 06 November 2018
The TSMF_10CM investigates the technical feasibility and commercial viability of information services regarding a) regular generation of forest stress maps and b) detection of bark beetle infestation in support of small and medium size forestry operations in Germany.
