We also develope scripts for the automation of image processing workflows. These automatic procedures guarantee an easy ingestion of EO information in end-users systems by IT specialists by simple API requests.
Atmosphere
Dust is the lesser acknowledged factor that significantly influences the performance of Photovoltaic installations. Few studies analyzed this effect and the consequent efficiency degradation.
SILEX Clouds Dust datasets uploaded to the end-user cloud space, gives the possibility to correlate Solar Parks performances with this phenomena in Real Time, with complete reports every 5 minutes.
SOIL
Four main factors influence the soil reflectance in remote sensing images: mineral composition, soil moisture, organic matter content and soil texture. Size and shape of the soil aggregate also influence the reflectance in the images.
Soil datasets allow the discrimination between the moist and dry soils, and the analysis of trend thanks a continuos and automatic field monitoring .
Vegetation
Vegetation interacts with solar radiation in a different way than other natural materials. Different plant materials, water content, pigment, carbon content, nitrogen content, and other properties cause further variation across the vegetation spectrum.
Vegetation Datasets, put into evidence these variations giving the possibility to study their relationship to one another that can provide meaningful information about plant health, water content, environmental stress, and other important characteristics.
Disasters Monitoring
As Project Managers for several CMES & Disasters Charter activations, we participated during last years developing added value maps that helped to evaluate and monitor the impact of different natural and antropogenic disasters.
About silex clouds
Silex Clouds S.R.L. is centered on the provision of valuable information derived from complex satellite image processing techniques and GIS procedures, in real or near real time and in interoperable formats.
For a real time approach, we process satellite images acquired by meteorological geostationary satellites (EUMETSAT, GOESS, etc.) and Sun-synchronous satellites (Landsat, Modis, Sentinel, etc,). The high time imagery resolution guarantee a continuous monitoring of the phenomenon.
The time and spatial resolution of the final products varies depending on the EO system capabilities.
Support to Solar Power plants via Real Time potential soiling presence and forecasting for extended MENA region.
Real Time dust storm monitoring and Impact Assessment for extended MENA region (temporal resolution: 5 minutes).
Fire monitoring (support to tower mounted services), Oil Spill monitoring (with machine learning assistance). SAR interferometry to Floods monitoring and damage assesment.
Satellite added value products with the assistance of on-field measurement campaigns
