Detection of anomalies and warning service

The VtDaws service aims at proposing a new detection and warning service using an automated software system based on already proven components used in concrete projects. The system is able to acquire EO data (especially from the Sentinel constellation of satellites but also from Copernicus Services and other satellites), process these data and mix them with complementary added-value data (meteorology, climate, Land Use/Land Cover, Digital Elevation Models, biogeophysical data). This amount of data allows the VtDaws service to detect changes or anomalies in order to send warnings to the users. The service mainly targets users within the agriculture (farmers, cooperatives, agrofood companies), forestry (public and private), oil and gas (production companies, environmental NGOs), water management (water agencies, public bodies) and insurance sectors (insurance companies, experts).
