This week’s TPI Tuesday covers the filling of a ditch and the dangers it can provide. As normal as a small ditch may seem, filling it up can be a threat to the pipeline that lies just underneath. The Netherlands is full of these small canals used mostly by agriculture. It is difficult to spot […]
In today’s TPI Tuesday you can see a road or path that is constructed in a meadow, part of that road is covering the pipeline. Although this activity might not include groundworks and therefore does not pose a direct threat to the pipeline, operators still want to be informed about these kinds of activities, because […]
Today we highlight the radar based capabilities of CoSMiC-EYE. The radar cuts through the clouds and provides situational awareness under any circumstances. Often clouds obscure the view of optical satellites, as was the case at this location in the Netherlands on the 7th of April. On the last cloudless image of the 2nd of March […]
CoSMiC-EYE allows monitoring works over extended periods of time. Here, a zone located next to a gas pipeline in Paris was being monitored for ground leveling activities, which present a potential danger to pipelines. A crane has recently been installed in the area, and new structures are arising in that location. CoSMiC-EYE alerts gas operators […]
This week, Arnaud van den Berg and Pauline Liaume are visiting Paris to meet with our customer GRTgaz. Today, they visited the RICE Research and Innovation Center for Energy of GRTgaz to present and discuss the performance of CoSMiC-EYE in current project. They also went into the city of Paris to visit some actual construction […]
This week we present a very Dutch TPI Tuesday, as tomorrow we are celebrating the birthday of our king, Willem-Alexander, in the Netherlands! It’s a national holiday, where the streets will be filled with orange-dressed people and decorations! 🤴🏻 🇳🇱 In this TPI Tuesday, you can see another very Dutch aspect, namely the tulip fields […]
Usually, CoSMiC-EYE detects construction activities or excavators close to pipeline networks – but sometimes we also have very special detections. For one of our customers, we had detected an object close to the pipeline with the radar satellites, which was hard to recognize in the optical imagery. However, after an on-site visit by the operators […]
Object identification based on the high-resolution optical imagery is an important aspect of the CoSMiC-EYE system. These images enable the operators to classify the reported activity from the office and to make a first risk assessment. Today’s TPI-Tuesday shows the detection of a crane based on our Sentinel-1 radar analysis. The high-resolution optical was provided […]
Last week’s TPI-Tuesday showed a long-lasting road construction activity. This week, we would like to display the radar data that accompanied this activity. The change detection of the CoSMiC-EYE system is currently primarily based on SAR data. For the classification of the changes, we use optical images. CoSMiC-EYE is thus perfectly capable of monitoring the […]
Last Monday the Orbital Eye team enjoyed a very nice Thai dinner! Finally, we could celebrate all our successes of the past 2.5 years with the entire, expanded, team. On to many more successes! Do you want to be part of this team and contribute to the next successes? We currently have several open internship […]
