TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS

TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS

TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS

TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS

Barriers

Several barriers could impede the effective use of satellite data for addressing challenges related to urban planning, climate adaptation, and resilience. These barriers include:

Time resolution

Timing

Limited Temporal Frequency

Some Copernicus satellites have revisit times that might not be frequent enough to capture rapid changes in urban environments or to provide timely updates during emergency situations like floods or heatwaves.

Timing

Delay in Data Processing

The time taken to process and make the data available can also be a constraint, particularly in scenarios requiring near-real-time information.

Spatial resolution

Spacing

Insufficient Detail

The spatial resolution of some Copernicus datasets might not be fine enough to detect small-scale features or detailed urban infrastructure. For instance, Sentinel-2 provides data at a resolution of 10 meters, which might not capture fine details in dense urban settings.

Spacing

Variability in Resolution

Different Copernicus satellites offer varying spatial resolutions, which might lead to inconsistencies when integrating data from multiple sources.

Revisits

Frequency

Revisit Intervals

The spatial resolution of some Copernicus datasets might not be fine enough to detect small-scale features or detailed urban infrastructure. For instance, Sentinel-2 provides data at a resolution of 10 meters, which might not capture fine details in dense urban settings.

Frequency

Cloud Cover

Optical satellites like Sentinel-2 can be impeded by cloud cover, affecting the frequency of usable images and necessitating reliance on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from satellites like Sentinel-1, which might not provide the same level of detail for certain analyses.

Technicals and Accessibility

Technology

Data Handling and Processing

The sheer volume of Copernicus data can be overwhelming, requiring significant computational resources and expertise in data processing, which might not be available to all users.

Technology

Interoperability

Integrating Copernicus data with other datasets (e.g., local sensor data, IoT data) can be technically challenging, requiring standardized formats and protocols.

Technology

User Expertise

Effective use of Copernicus data requires a certain level of technical expertise in remote sensing and geospatial analysis, which might not be available to all urban planners or climate resilience practitioners.

Enhanced Data Integration and Fusion

Combining Multiple Data Sources

Latitudo 40 can integrate data from multiple Copernicus satellites (e.g., Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3) to leverage the strengths of each dataset. By combining optical and SAR data, they can overcome limitations related to cloud cover and achieve more comprehensive monitoring.

Use of Additional Data

Incorporating data from other satellite missions, ground-based sensors, IoT devices, and historical datasets can enhance the temporal and spatial resolution and provide a more complete picture.

02.

Advanced Processing and Analysis Techniques

Machine Learning and AI

Latitudo 40 can apply advanced machine learning and AI algorithms to improve the accuracy and speed of data processing. Techniques such as deep learning can be used for super-resolution, enhancing the detail in satellite images beyond their native resolution. We have an operative solution to transform Sentinel 2 imagery to 1m resolution.

Generative AI for Synthetic Data

The use of generative AI to create synthetic satellite imagery can help simulate and analyze potential urban changes and climate impacts, providing valuable insights for planning and resilience.

03.

Improved Data Accessibility and Usability

User-Friendly Platforms

Developing intuitive platforms and dashboards that simplify the access, visualization, and interpretation of satellite data can lower the technical barriers for users. Tools like Urbalytics can provide actionable insights in an easily understandable format.

Automated Workflows

Implementing automated data processing pipelines can reduce the time and expertise required to handle large volumes of satellite data, making it more accessible to a broader range of users.

04.

Capacity Building and Training

Education and Training Programs

Offering training sessions, workshops, and online courses to build technical capacity among urban planners, policymakers, and other stakeholders. This helps users understand and utilize the full potential of Copernicus data.

Collaborative Partnerships

Partnering with academic institutions, research organizations, and industry experts to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration.

05.
