Research projects

DAP-16-9

The Confident project, conducted in the Improvised Explosive Devices Detection programm of the European Defence Agency, consists in providing IED early warning for convoys.

The Royal Military Academy is in charge of the processing and data fusion of the infrared images with the image coming from the other detectors.

SIC/05

The study aims first at automatically extract Digital Surface Models using very high spatial and radiometric resolution images and multiview modes. Second, these DSM will be exploited to perform change detection and produce landscape models.

MYRIADE

The aim of this project is to develop, test and validate a library allowing to determine the speed of cars passing by from time-lapse images.

ARMURS

The general objective of the project is to capitalize partners' knowledge in the development of a demonstrator to assist data producers in updating more efficiently their topographic database by using state-of-the-art image processing and statistical analysis techniques. Data will include remote sensing images, together with socio-economical data.

OCTOPUS

The method developed for NGI by SIC in the scope of the ETATS project (STEREO SR/00/21) to detect changes in buildings and roadnetwork from SPOT5 images and the Top10v-GIS topographic data base (conceptually at 1:10 000) of NGI, has produced good results on a set of zones, but could not be validated sufficiently in the foreseen time frame during the ETATS project. Moreover, taking into account the tests realized and in order to make the application more flexible, NGI prefers a modular version of the realized software under the form of successions of scripts instead of a global graphical interface. Finally, the NGI wish that the method could accept as input other types of images than SPOT5 images, as aerial photos, orthophotos and mosaics.

At the end of this project, the NGI will have a versatile and adapted prototype to help the updating of topogeographical data.

GMOSS

The aim of the GMOSS network of excellence is to integrate Europe?s civil security research so as to acquire and nourish the autonomous knowledge and expertise base Europe needs if it is to develop and maintain an effective capacity for global monitoring using satellite earth observation.

GEMITOR

The objective of the GEMITOR project is to generate a Numerical Surface Model (NSM) with a resolution that is as high as possible. This NSM would then serve as input for the EMSOR project to which the GEMITOR project is linked.

Generating NSM from SAR interferometrie has proved to be challenging at very high resolution. In particular, the phase unwrapping operation has to be re-examined, for instance by adopting a multiresolution approach.

EMSOR

EMSOR vise 2 applications complémentaires de la détection de structures humaines, à savoir : la mise à jour de données cartographiques en routine et la mise à jour de cartes en temps de crise avec évaluation des dégâts survenus.

EMSOR va intégrer voire développer les méthodes nécessaires à l’analyse des données SAR pour les applications en sécurité (résolution 1m), à l’analyse des données optiques (résolution 1m) et à la fusion de données SAR et optiques.

EMSOR, est intégré dans un réseau destiné à faciliter l’échange d’expertise, de données et la comparaison de résultats.
