MASS SER D PROJECT

• Historical search on EO archives
• The service offers the possibility to search for
  a specific dataset that matches a
  spatial/temporal request by the User, interested
  into historical occurrences of oil spills
• The information to the User consists of
• a list of archived EO images
• a quotation
• The User produces an order for oil spill reports
  from a defined dataset
• The User gets back the oil spill reports

MASS SER D PROJECT

• BALU
• The service provides a product by which
  is possible to
• Identify the forest burnt areas
• Monitor the burnt areas
• Detect the land use change
• The product is a GIS composed by two thematic
  layers, differentiated according to specific
  burned area priority class
• Layer 1 Land Cover
• Layer 2 Land Use Changes in Burnt Scars

BALU
Service Description
10
MASS SER D PROJECT

• The service is useful
• To follow up the spectral evolution of the land
  cover over forest burned areas
• To assess forest fire damage
• To investigate vegetation re-growth after fire
• To investigate human intervention and
  construction after fire
• To enforce the application of the environmental
  law
• To identify areas where illegal land-use
  transitions occurred
• The product is composed by
• 2 shape file
• 1 legend file
• 2 meta data file in XML format (one for each
  shape file)

Tidal currents

• Tidalinfo.com is a service to obtain worldwide
  tidal information
• Based on modelcomputations that assimilate
  satellite and coastal station measurements
• Database is multi-resolution and consists of
  tidal harmonics
• MASS service returns current vectors in a 150 km
  square area at a given point in time. Adds value
  to, for example, oil spill monitoring

Service Description

MASS SER D PROJECT
Tidal currents

• XML tidal current request
• Process by Apache / Tomcat
• MASS toolbox converts XML request in HTML request
  and contacts tidalinfo.com server
• CGI threads and drops request parameters in ASCII
  file. Includes multi-user options.
• Monitor polls for files, reads request and
• 6a) Retrieves and interpolates harmonic constants
  from database (U, V and H)
• 6b) Computes, plots etc. the request.
• 6c) On success, increment counter of user
• 7-11) Return the request via ASCII / HTTP / XML

SUGRES-WEB offers value-added products and
services for optimising the management of
green areas in urban environments based
on VHRSI IKONOS (GIM is distributor) currently
under development-in partnership with a number of
Belgian universities SUGRES-Inventory aimed at
the decision makers of local government, who
want to compile an inventory of
green areas and urban green objects (public
and private), for example to promote "green
areas" towards future inhabitants and
businesses SUGRES-Health allows to monitor the
health condition of alley trees in the city.
This service is aimed at the operational services
(Technical or Urban Green services) of the
city that maintain urban green.
