CAMEO

CAMEO

CAMEO aims to boost the understanding and integration of satellite Earth Observation (EO) services by companies and agencies managing pipeline and energy transmission corridors, including underground electricity cables.

High-resolution methane mapping with hyper and multispectral data (HiResCH4)

High-resolution methane mapping with hyper and multispectral data (HiResCH4)

This project explores the capabilities of hyperspectral (e.g. PRISMA) and multispectral (e.g. Sentinel-2) satellite missions to identify methane point emissions at high resolution. It combines advanced simulation, retrieval techniques, and real-world data analysis to assess the strengths and limitations of these spaceborne tools.

SuperVision Earth

SuperVision Earth

SuperVision Pipeline: Automated satellite-based system for pipeline monitoring, that uses AI algorithms to analyse satellite and drone images to detect and immediately report various risks to critical infrastructures.

Offshore Wind Energy

Offshore Wind Energy

Atlantic Regional Initiative - Applications: Offshore Wind Energy. Services based on Earth Observation (EO) can provide valuable information during the design stage by providing a long time series of wind data that allows a better assessment and characterization of the wind resource energy production potential of different possible wind farm (WF) sites
