Examples of EO data inside the SEA Service
Monitoring of
Infrastructure:
- Investment for development.
- VHR imagery use to assess
the evolution of works in the
area.
- Use of change detection
techniques to determine the
rate of evolution of works.
Different Activities to
monitor:
Replacement 3 km pipeline
Projected 6.9 km pipeline
- Construction of new water
pipeline.
- Replacement of existing water
pipeline.

Beta Testing
New uses of data (such as web mapping).
New delivery modes studied and included in the DAP upon
request.
Security considerations have been requested and
implemented in the archiving and browsing mechanisms.
The policy for delivery of EO data for requests under the
minimum area has been reviewed upon request and solved.
Users of the service CSC-DA service are given the
opportunity to beta-test new procedures and tools.

 On demand services such as Copernicus SEA do not
allow to provide accurate previsions of EO data quota
expenditure.
 Automating of data requests.

Plan for the Future
New possibilities derived from the arrival of Sentinel data:
- Amount of Data:
- Optimal for monitoring activities.
- Challenges due to the amount of data.
- Use of resolutions considered coarse for the Copernicus SEA Service
standard:
- Resolutions other than VHR can be used to cover wider areas.
- The spectral resolution of Sentinel-2 can be exploited for the search of
indicators complementary to the imagery interpretation.
