Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The SenSyF project proposes a complete system for fully automated data acquisition and processing. This project will allow for the development and testing of new processing chains and methods for Sentinel and GMES contributing mission data on a continuous basis, and the delivery of higher-level products and services complementing the information provided by the (pre-)operational services. This system will be based on a dynamic parallel processing infrastructure, where the capabilities of grid computing applied to Sentinel data processing can be exploited and demonstrated. The SenSyF project will provide an infrastructure and interfacing tools for data access and dissemination, such that SMEs and scientists can develop and deploy Earth Science application with a lower overall cost of data, setup and maintenance. The complete system is designed as a fully automatic data processing framework, which will ease the generation and testing of new and innovative applications. On top of the Synergy Framework being proposed, a selected set of seven demonstrative services are also selected, which will 1) demonstrate the system’s potential, 2) provide valuable development feedback for the framework improvement, and 3) prove the overall concept by addressing specific services needs within the European and global setting. The SenSyF project draws on the experience and complementarity of its ten partners from across Europe, to propose a business-oriented solution in support the generation of value-added services, based on the usage of Earth observation data from the future GMES Sentinels missions. As exemplified by the seven proposed services, each of which addressing a particular need for higher-level information generation, the common, powerful back-end will let service providers concentrate on the service core, and streamline the development and improve performance, and reducing implementation and operational costs.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
EU-funded researchers are working on a shared infrastructure with access to Earth observation (EO) data, high-performance computing solutions and near-real-time data ingestion.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The SENSYF (Sentinels synergy framework) project goes beyond the state of the art by automating data collection, cataloguing and processing to reduce the time-to-market of EO services. For the first time, scientific and commercial partners will have access to distributed computational and storage resources, dedicated to each Sentinel mission.
Developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), each Sentinel mission consists of two satellites providing data for the operational needs of Copernicus services. Sentinel satellites will generate huge amounts of data that scientists and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) do not have access to and the computing and storage needed to handle them.
The SENSYF framework will enable interested users to deploy their services in a collaborative environment where they can tap the computing and storage power of the cloud. It is essentially an extension of ESA's Grid Processing On Demand (G-POD) environment. However, the new hybrid cloud infrastructure allows EO value added services to be deployed on public and commercial clouds.
During the second year of the SENSYF project, the first version of the new cloud platform was released. In addition, seven different services were proposed for concept validation and a pre-operations phase was initiated. These include tools to provide near-real-time information of water quality through the combined use of Sentinel-2 and -3 data.
Several demonstration activities were carried out to introduce potential service providers to how they could integrate applications on the SENSYF framework. The new Sentinel data products were also presented at international conferences where other projects and individuals showed great interest in having access to infrastructure and tools provided.
