MACHINE LEARNING

Machine Learning & Earth Observation
Machine learning is training a computer to understand an asset. Applied to pre and post event satellite imagery, it detects damage from wind, storm surge, forest fires and more, across areas far too large to survey by hand.
  • ML is training a computer to understand an asset
  • Detect damage due to wind damage, storm surge forest fires etc.
  • Change detection-Pre/Post event imagery compared
  • Algorithm to assess damage over large areas
  • Complements modelling, by providing real-time data on damage
  • Available 2/3 days post event
  • Ideal for immediate pre-claim stock market notification & supporting claims process

EVDC

ESA Atmospheric Validation Data Centre

Skytek developed and maintains a software platform for European Space Agency that supports Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) activities for a new and upcoming ESA satellite missions.

Skytek is currently heavily involved in preparations for the launch and commissioning phase of EarthCARE: the biggest ESA atmospheric mission so far.

We help ESA monitor mission performance and satellite product development by providing:

Fast catalogues and archives of satellite data

Cal/Val Data submission facility and processing tools

Fast catalogues and archives of correlative data harvested from multiple data centres

Enforcing standardisation of metadata formats (GEOMS)

Orbit prediction and analysis tools

Cloud processing tools

Broad documentation and tutorials supporting Cal/Val teams

EUMETSAT

Scientific Support, from the Arctic to Carbon Mapping

Skytek has worked since 2019 with the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

We provide technical and scientific support for its remote sensing and products division and is leading an international study taking validation measurements in the arctic.

Skytek is providing:

  • A service to support the development of the scientific activities for current and future EUMETSAT missions and the evolving product needs of the users, including dedicated support to the future Copernicus CO2M mission, which will map carbon dioxide emissions.
  • Collection and analysis of scatterometer measurements over snow and sea ice during the MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) campaign, to contribute to the validation of EUMETSAT, Copernicus and ESA missions.

Earth Observation Web Portal by Skytek

EARTH OBS PORTAL

The mySPPA Web Portal

The European Space Agency’s range of Earth Observation satellites assist scientists in studying the earth. Skytek’s software solution is deployed to support the Sensor Performance, Products and Algorithms (SPPA), the ESA’s Earth Observation division responsible for algorithm development, calibration and validation, and quality control.

The SPPA web portal is designed to increase awareness of Earth Observation (EO) data capabilities and performance status within the Earth Observation user community.

Benefits of mySPPA:

  • Improve access and use of SPPA outputs.
  • Support scientists and end-users familiarise themselves with EO data and data products.
