On 20 of May 2016, at the EUMETSAT Headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany, GEO-K signed a new contract for a study about cloud detection over sea ice using the “Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer” (SLSTR) instrument aboard on Sentinel 3 satellite. Sea ice is typically present on polar oceans of the planet and has a […]
On April 11th of 10 years ago GEO-K, the first spin-off of the University of Roma Tor Vergata, was founded. Merging academic background with trade necessities and dynamics had never been easy but we still are here, gained 10-years-standing experience and ready to afford the next 10-years adventure with the same excited enthusiasm as we […]
Thales Alenia Space Italia chooses GEO-K to realize new platforms for COSMO-SkyMed SAR data analysis. The agreement signed on 22 March 2016 requires the creation of a first suite for automatic analysis application for oil spills, ship survey, coastline extraction and land cover classification. All of this will be detected by neural network technology developed […]
Login Earth is GEO-K’s app for Android ambient to test the player’s ability to recognize cities, regions, rivers and deserts of our planet, using satellite products also in different wavelengths! In fact, the best players that will be able to complete level 4, will unlock the fifth level of the game and play with images […]
The partnership between GEO-K and RADIO6ENSE aims to build up a system that exploits the paradigm of radiofrequency identification (RFID) and the potentialities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The RFIDrone project will be developed considering two main approaches: the first, named DroneReader, consists of a UAV hexacopter able to carry out autonomous missions in which the data transmitted by RFID […]
GEO-K participates to the study for the super-classification of Landsat Multispectral products. The study will be published on the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observation and Remote Sensing in the next period. What is super-classification? With it, we consider the ability to discriminate the different “materials” that form a single pixel signal. […]
GEO-K took part at the Rome 2015 Science Symposium on Climate poster session, on November 19-20, with a contribution to URBANFLUXES project. The recently launched Horizon 2020 project URBANFLUXES investigates the potential of EO to retrieve urban energy budget components, focusing on the anthropogenic heat flux. The main challenge of this project is the innovative exploitation of the Copernicus […]
The Fab Space 2.0 project (led by the French university Toulouse III Paul Sabatier) was approved under the Horizon 2020 program: 3,5 million euros to create innovative and space-oriented fab labs in 6 European countries. Universities are the protagonists and in particular those of France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Greece. They will become (even more) […]
The new GEO-K app Login Earth was presented at the ESA – European Space Agency event Earth Observation Open Science 2.0. Play Geography from Space! Look how it works Using spectacular images of our planet taken from Space, Login Earth is aiming to offer a new approach to physical and political geography by way of […]
“The number of the extreme meteorological events has increased in the last few years and the trend should be the same for the next future”. GEO-K participated in the 2015 EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference, held in Toulouse, France, 21-25 September, presenting StormTrek, the innovative algorithm for the nowcasting of extreme meteorological events. “These events generally […]
