Published purpose

Government authorities and data scientists do not have the ability to directly request ground truth observations from citizens to assess the validity of space-based Earth observation (SBEO) algorithms, and citizens do not have the ability to submit such observations directly. The opportunity is to combine these two observational approaches in a completely new method of environmental and disaster assessment using SBEO techniques and imagery. This will help close a communication gap and allow scientists and government officials to collaborate with citizens to validate and enhance the satellite image processing algorithms directly and in near real time, to determine the ground truth.
