SC7 Workshop 3: Big Data Initiatives in the Space & Security domain
0 likes405 views
The document discusses the European Union Satellite Centre's initiatives relating to big data and space security. It outlines four research projects the centre is involved in: BigDataEurope, EVER-EST, NextGEOSS, and BETTER. The projects aim to develop solutions for improved access and processing of earth observation and other complex datasets. The centre is implementing pilot programs within each project focused on space and security issues. The goals are to enhance capabilities through better exploitation of data and application of techniques like machine learning.
