ASI-ISPRA: Sentinel Collaborative GS Thematic Platform for Habitat Mapping (2017-2021)

The project, carried out in collaboration with ASI, concerns the activities to create value-added services in the field of environmental monitoring, through the development of a system for the provision of remote sensing images and for the production of thematic maps that can be integrated with that produced by land and marine services within the Copernicus program. The project aims to design, develop and test an integrated platform prototype for the provision of a semi-automatic image classification service at different observation scales. It is mainly aimed at the mapping of terrestrial, aquatic and transitional habitats. As part of the project, a Virtual Laboratory of Environmental Services (LaViSAm) was set up, used as a development, calculation and test environment for the creation of the pre-operational services platform.
