Pioneering H2020 project e-shape, strengthens the benefits for Europe of GEO - establishing ‘EuroGEO’

EuroGEO, as Europe’s contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems, aims at bringing together Earth Observation resources in Europe. It allows Europe to position itself as global force in Earth observation through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets.

Success story

FRIEND - Flood Risk & Impact assEssment through automatic chaNge Detection of S1 and S2 images

Profile

This pilot aims at assessing the flood risk in selected areas, its impact on urban areas and the associated risk for population. It will use Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data and relevant processing chains to generate time-series of imagery and automatically detect changes within a given period.

Proposal

The output will be exposed through the MEEO (pilot coordinator) platform whose data cube technology will be enriched with additional relevant datasets to provide both citizens and experts with a Flood Risk & Impact Assessment dashboard based on indicators, time-series charts or forecasting maps. The objective is to have a smart organization of the heterogeneous relevant datasets that facilitates the analysis of the data available and, therefore, the monitoring activities over an AoI.
