5 GSC2 Real Time Monitoring and Control System GSC2 is an integrated solution for real time monitoring and control of cooperative and non cooperative objects inside an Area of Interest (A.O.I). This image shows an example of this solution applied to maritime traffic control inside a sea basin of customer interest, where all the cooperative vessels information are acquired through AIS messages and non cooperative vessels are revealed by costal radar sites. GSC2 has been designed, developed and deployed using the client-server paradigm applied into a multilevel server architecture, to grant a reliable and continue Common Operational Picture (C.O.P) solution. GSC2 is based on AGI Real Time Tracking Tool RT3 technology, and utilises RF and SATCOM links to collect incoming data and distribute aggregated information. This application design grants a high rate of performances and a reliable system up-time, together with a friendly user interface, easily customizable, to maximize monitoring and control capabilities, and to facilitate related decisions processes. Courtesy of AGI Analytical Graphics Inc USA GSC2 multilevel architecture offers the capability to deploy a distributed control system able to operate both in standalone and in cooperative modes allowing customers to rely on a true 24/7 operational system to maintain a continue control of his A.O.I. GSC2 allows to manage central and peripheral users profiles, defining authorization and access levels for each of the involved actors respecting the existing rules and procedures. The system offers also analysis and reporting features to investigate and trace any monitored object history back in the time. GMSPAZIO offers GCS2 in two different versions operative on MS-Windows and Unix (SUN Solaris and Linux Red-Hat ) platforms.

6 SAT2MAP GMSPAZIO Solutions from Very High Resolution Satellite Images GMSPAZIO offers Value Added Products and Services derived from Standard and very High Resolution Remote Sensing Satellite Images acquired by the following Space mission: EROS A - ImageSat International (VHR Panchromatic) EROS B - ImageSat International (VHR Panchromatic) ERS 1 / 2 and ENVISAT ESA European Space Agency (Radar) Ikonos and QuickBird (VHR Panchromatic and Multispectral) Landsat 5 - NOAA/NASA (MR Multispectral) SPOT 5 - SpotImage (VHR Panchromatic and Multispectral) Terra and Aqua Modis NOAA/NASA (MR Multispectral) The solutions currently available are: SAT2MAP-2D Cartography updates from Very High Resolution Satellite Images SAT2MAP-3D Cartography 3D updates from Very High Resolution Satellite Images SAT2MAP-CD Change Detection from Very High Resolution Satellite Images All the solutions rely on a clever mix of available technologies and legacy processing systems able to extract useful information from a wide catalogue of Very High Resolution Remote Sensing Satellite Images. GMSPAZIO offers, indeed, its expertise to process data coming from several different types of Satellite Remote Sensing Images, both optical and radar, panchromatic and multispectral, standard and very high resolution ones. Example of systematic, geometric and geographic processing on EROS A image (Courtesy of ImageSat International NV) Image processing spans from radiometric and geometric corrections, to georeferencing and orthorectification steps, producing deliverable data, always accompanied with ISO19115 standard XML metadata files. Especially for EROS A and B, two Sun synchronous satellites acquiring images in asynchronous mode, GMSPAZIO developed specific processing algorithms able to obtain very accurate orthorectification results. Processed data are delivered to the end users both in standard and customized GIS environment formats, thus being available for any kind of integrated and immediate further process and evaluation. SAT2MAP-2D is the Service offered by GMSPAZIO to update existing cartographic maps to match territory evolutions using VHR panchromatic remote sensing satellite images The example on the right shows an EROS B image (Courtesy of ImageSat International NV & MARSec Spa). The images used to extract these cartography updates allow to generate detailed maps till to 1:2.000 scale factor useful to highlight environment modifications and man made infrastructures.

7 SAT2MAP-3D is the Service offered by GMSPAZIO to update existing cartographic maps generating 3D representation of the territory extruding existing man made infrastructures draped over existing DEM, using VHR panchromatic and/or multispectral remote sensing satellite images GMSPAZIO developed its own algorithms to extract 3 rd dimension from a single image, being able to produce real environment models, adding to the new generated or already available DEMs, the information pertaining to buildings and anthropic infrastructures. Images copyright of ImageSat International NV Left image has been processed by GMSPAZIO extruding from a single image, in real scale and dimensions, man made infrastructure in Naples downtown; it s possible to see The Royal Palace (red building at center), The Maschio Angioino Castel (Cyan building on the right) and the San Francesco di Paola Church with its three domes (gold colored) and its semi-circular pillars promenade (white one in the left part of the image) surrounding the famous Piazza del Plebiscito. SAT2MAP-CD is the Service offered by GMSPAZIO to compare and estimate the variations occurred in a specific customer s AOI (Area of Interest), producing change detection maps accessible also on-line, through dedicated web portals. The expected results are produced running a set of operational processing steps supported by legacy algorithms designed and built by GMSPAZIO to identify, extract and validate information related to changes occurred in a specific customer AOI. The following pictures summarize these steps. The information extracted and validated are delivered to end users both in standard and GIS formats as shown hereafter: First image of user s AOI Second image of user s AOI Analytic report of territory modifications (Images copyright of ImageSat International)
