New Dutch Satellite portal opened

(datum: 2012-03-22)

On March 21st, a new satellite data portal was launched, hosted by the Netherlands Space Office (NSO), in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation. With this launch, free access to a broad range of satellite imagery for the Dutch territory will be enabled.

The aim of the portal is to bring research institutes, companies and government closer together, to enable innovation in the application of earth observation. The initiative is a prelude to the operational phase of the Sentinel missions of GMES (2015).

Through this initiative, both commercial businesses and research institutes (development of applications), as well as end users (better and less expensive information) will benefit. Through the centralized purchase, The Netherlands can not only acquire the required information more efficiently, it also gives Dutch companies and research institutes an advantage over foreign countries.

The portal provides the (free) access to raw satellite imagery. The level of rawness will differ per dataset. In general, it can be stated that the imagery will have been radiometrically corrected (pixel values), but they will not be corrected for height differences (ortho rectification).

For Imagem, this new portal offers a wealth of possibilities toe show the full capabilities of our remote sensing applications in practice. ERDAS IMAGINE is designed to take in the raw satellite material and convert these into ready to use information and even serve these over the web, using APOLLO, including web processing services. These allow end users to execute processes like change detection and NDVI's directly from the web page, by only providing a few parameters.

We congratulate the NSO with the opening of the portal and look forward to the enormous possibilities this portal provides to our sector and all Dutch.

The portal is available through the following link: http://www.satellietdataportaal.nl

HAMIS implementation APOLLO receives 5 stars!

(datum: 2011-10-21)

The Port of Rotterdam has received the highest five star TÜViT-certificate for the HaMIS information system, version 1.30.0.
Five TÜViT-stars represent a system that is of solid quality, well constructed and therefore easy to maintain and customize.

The CEO of the German certifying instituut TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH (TÜViT), Antonius Sommer, was present to hand over the certificate to Herman Hanekamp, Program manager for Information supply for the Harbor master, at the Port of Rotterdam.

Srum-project HaMIS
HaMIS (Harbor master Management Information System) is a new information system for guiding the ship traffic in the Rotterdam harbor. Earlier this year, the new ‘harbor map’ was released, showing in realtime the ships that are in the harbor area, stretching from the Van Brienenoord bridge up until 57 kilometers off shore. In aid of the inspection of dangerous materials, the system shows where ships are that carry a dangerous load. HaMIS is built using the Agile development methodology Scrum.

The certificate is created by SIG in cooperation with TÜViT and is aimed specifically at identifying technical quality of software systems that conform to ISO 9126 and a number of derived evaluation criteria. Software of high technical quality leads to: lower cost of ownership, reduced management risks and above all ease of adaptation of software systems, so they can keep meeting new demands of usage.

HAMIS is built on top of ERDAS APOLLO Essentials - SDI. For more information on ERDAS APOLLO, click here.
