Starting today, environmental crimes and illegal activities can be monitored from space thanks to Eo4Security, the new European Space Agency project led by e-GEOS-a company formed by ASI (20 percent) and Telespazio (80 percent) of the Leonardo Group. State-of-the-art algorithms, with associated application platforms, will be developed to provide tools that can offer timely information on possible violations of environmental regulations, for example in the case of illegal mining. The aim of the project is to leverage the widest availability of data to gather information on small or large scales of the Earth. In a single screen, Eo4Security can provide analysis and information on environmental crimes using different sources that can generate high-resolution data as well as use daily satellite observations and historical analysis of specific areas.
