TPI Tuesday – Construction Works Detected

Today’s TPI Tuesday shows another example of one of the activities that is detected often by CoSMiC-EYE: construction works. It also shows again how the CoSMiC-EYE solution typically works: ✓ A high-resolution recent basemap is available for the entire pipeline network ✓ Through an analysis of weather-independent Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, a change is […]

TPI Tuesday – Agricultural activity detected

In today’s TPI Tuesday, we see an agricultural activity that was detected by the CoSMiC-EYE system. Routine agricultural activities like planting, plowing, and harvesting, don’t pose a threat to the pipeline integrity, and hence, even though they can be detected by the system, they are not reported to our customers. In this case, though, the […]

Orbital Eye in Germany!

The past two days Arnaud van den Berg and Ana Stavreva visited Germany to visit the E-world energy & water, the Impact Festival organized by E.ON (thanks OLiver Motz for the invitation!), and to meet with our German partners 🇩🇪. It was very interesting to see all the other innovative solutions that are developed within […]

TPI Tuesday – Roadworks Detected

In this TPI Tuesday, we see the detection of roadworks by radar. The radar image shown at the right displays a change in amplitude in an agricultural area. The resulting filtered change map as seen on the left indicates potential danger. To classify whether the threat is real, Orbital Eye tries to acquire high-resolution optical […]

Happy Birthday to ourselves!

Today, Orbital Eye celebrates its 10-year anniversary. We are very proud to have reached this milestone together with everybody who contributed to this – partners, suppliers, customers, and most importantly, our employees! In those 10 years, we have grown from a small ‘project group’ to a professional organization that is now serving customers all around […]

TPI Tuesday – Orbital Eye 10 years!

Tomorrow, Orbital Eye celebrates its 10th anniversary! To get in the mood already, this TPI Tuesday is constructed by satellite images taken throughout those 10 years that together spell out the event we will be celebrating. Do you recognize any of the buildings that can be seen in these images? Stay tuned for more festive […]

TPI Tuesday – House Construction Detected

This week’s TPI Tuesday covers the detection of a threat via radar- and optical satellite imagery; the construction of a house. This specific activity, which includes preparatory ground works, is located right at the crossing between two gas pipelines and presents a high level of threat if not detected in time. Detection and reporting, as […]

Orbital Eye is growing!

This month, another member was welcomed to the Orbital Eye Team! We are happy to have Stijn Hoefsloot on board as an R&D intern. Below you can find a nice introduction by Stijn! “Most people call me Stijn and I have been wandering around on this beautiful planet for about 26 years now. After finishing […]

TPI Tuesday – Dredging Activity Detected

In today’s TPI Tuesday, we see a dredging activity that was detected by the CoSMiC-EYE system. Dredging often poses a serious threat to the pipeline integrity, since heavy machinery is used, as can be seen in the upper left image that was taken by the field operators. On the right, the radar signal is depicted […]
