KILIDA
A Decision Support System to support digital transformation in water utility operators with cost-effective water resource monitoring.
The installation of hundreds of sensors in lakes, and inland waters in general, is not only costly but also energy consuming. The freely available Copernicus data allow their users to build their own services and give flexibility on how to (re)use them. Such approach on multimodal content from satellite images contributes to the green transition of water quality companies, whether they are small/medium or large enterprises, public or private.
The solution is designed to identify small-scale patterns on the surface of inland waters that indicate pollution. The presence of surface formations (e.g. oil spills) in water bodies poses a significant threat to the quality of drinking water. Therefore, the early detection of these oil spills is of utmost importance to the stakeholders involved. Notably, the solution relies on readily available Sentinel images from the Copernicus EU program, eliminating the necessity for on-site inspections and allowing the coverage of vast geographic areas regularly.
One of the services included in our portfolio is KILIDA, which focuses on unspecified surface pattern detection (e.g. oil spills). KILIDA provides a complete suite with the following features:
- Satellite image acquisition service
- A custom Deep Neural Network architecture
- Notification system
- Multiple accounts
- GIS visualisation
