Kepler Space Inc.

Published purpose

Kepler Space has created a product for wide area monitoring of ground deformation using time series of ESA Sentinel-1 data, applying the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry technique and detecting and mapping ground displacements. The proposed work streamlines and validates such data for use in railway and bridge infrastructure monitoring systems. Innovation is provided primarily by the wide-area coverage capability, able to provide regional, provincial or national coverage. This is made possible by Sentinel-1 data and by streamlined big data analytics. An Artificial Intelligence component able of predictive modelling of infrastructure health based on data will be added to the service.
