FACILITATING COPERNICUS Widespread and easy access to Copernicus data to facilitate integration in services and applications SenSyF: Sentinels Synergy Framework Project Description Earth Observation satellites generate huge amounts of data that are not easily integrated into processing chains outside the space agencies ground segments, and this is particularly true for the Sentinel missions. Very often, scientists or small and medium enterprises do not have access to the computing and storage capacity required to handle the amount of data needed to implement, test and deliver end-user services based on Earth Observation data, or will need to re-size their infrastructure in view of the increased volume of Sentinel data. The SenSyF project will establish a complete system for fully automated data acquisition and processing, including a specialized Sandbox Service with tools and development/validation platforms where Service developers are able to implement and test their applications, and then tap into a distributed pool of cloud resources when ready for the exploitation phase. SenSyF will allow for the development and testing of new Services and Applications for Sentinel and Copernicus contributing mission data on a continuous basis, as well as assisting in the delivery of higher-level products and services complementing the information provided by the (pre-) operational services. SenSyF is based on a dynamic parallel processing infrastructure, where the capabilities of grid computing applied to Sentinel data processing can be exploited and demonstrated. On top of the SenSyF Framework a selected set of demonstrative services are also included in the project, which will demonstrate the system’s potential, provide valuable development feedback for the framework improvement, and prove the overall concept by addressing specific services needs within the European and global settings. www.sensyf.eu Goals Establish acquisition links to Sentinel and other EO data providers to browse and retrieve datasets Establish a massive parallel infrastructure Provide a set of common tools for pre-processing, handling and combination of data from different EO data sources Establish a generic internal data structure and interfaces for easy plug-in of externally developed Service Establish a dissemination channel with visualisation capabilities to assess and transfer the results from the Services built on top of the framework SenSyF Data Access EXEMPLO DE TÍTULO The SenSyF framework data access mechanism will allow, for the first time in the Earth Observation domain, to any interested scientific and/or commercial partners to discover, retrieve and ingest the available Sentinel data within it’s own processing chain. A set of standard application interfaces are defined in order to access each deployed application via a Web Processing Service (WPS), and to leverage the Sentinels "ngEO" interfaces for Hosted Processing services, covering data products queries (OpenSearch) and results delivery. Users will be able to query and retrieve Sentinel data and ingest it on the application processing chain according to a different input criteria. PARTNERS Using the same model behind the European Space Agency (ESA) Grid Processing on-Demand (G-POD) environment, the SenSyF project target the following groups of potential users: • DEIMOS Engenharia, Portugal Elecnor Deimos, Spain Terradue, Italy Instituto Geográfico Nacional, Spain ACRI-ST, France Northern Research Institute, Norway ARGANS, United Kingdom Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal Universitat de Valencia - Estudi General, Spain Starting Date: 1st November 2012 Duration: 36 months SenSyF Target Users EU Contribution: € 1.992.967,00 Estimated total cost: € 2.545.421,90 • • • • Core Users: Core services for Copernicus and large FP7 projects; Downstream Users: European funded or other projects to deploy services using Sentinel and other Copernicus data; Institutional Users: National research institutions or governmental bodies that need to use large Sentinel datasets; General Users: Wide group of users at regional level, and/or private companies wishing to develop and deploy their specific service; Contributing Users: Projects that can have potential to result in a generic processing module to be integrated in the SenSyF.
