In a few words…

GreenSSLMTM is an integrated, permanent monitoring system utilizing mainly satellite technology and handling complex computing interfaces dedicated to ●store●manage●process and ●assess

environmental parameters which characterize the holistic status of an area offering constant remote monitoring and protection

www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com



Motivations and Targets

● Urban spreadingLand use change, human hazardous effects upon environment, inhibited areas near regions undergoing crisis which burdens human health

● Global economy dependence on agriculture, livestock and fisheryVegetation growth, health and diversity, environmental and other factors causing stresses on ecosystem’s equilibrium, optimized solutions for increased production

● Environmental changes and wildlife extinctionOptimization of environmental theory, monitoring and modeling, definition of the interaction patterns of all factors across a landscape, design of crisis control and management plans

Data management and potentials

An environment-oriented product, aiming in establishing an efficient

relation coexistence relation of human and environment

Ability to monitor any area regardless of

how remote, inhibited or not it may be

Ability to acquire real time data on short frequency periods, and archive them for the deduction of areas history and statistics

The satellite technology offers the ability to select, manage and process a

vast amount and variety of complex data across all the environmental levels

of a landscape (as opposed to limited covering of a specific area/

phenomenon)

Multiple bands and high resolution imagery

detect environmental phenomena non

detectable by the human eye and/or traditional

monitoring

Ability to provide land use optimization plans, as

well as enforcement of agriculture and other

economy factors

Professional processing powered by environmental mathematical models and

imagery algorithms, designed by our team of environment

biologists

Brief environmental report of the area on

a 3-month basis




Multi-Source Computing EnvironmentGreenSSLMTM ensures to collect the grand quantity of ambiguous information needed for a holistic environmental evaluation and thereby handles data of multiple origins:


A constellation of satellites monitoring Earth, night and day, proving high resolution imagery, and a big collection of terrestrial data and environmental parameters allow monitoring and protection of an area

A constellation of satellites collecting climate recordings of surface and atmosphere chemistry

A long and detailed collection of statistics and area classification reports upon the area

A feedback of the data acquired by the system, in the form of statistic parameters (respective means, mean deviation, etc) and history

● In time detection and prediction even of upcoming hazards

● Reasoning behind the existence / emergence of a crisis – educating the end user on environmental factors sensitivities

● Crisis management plan, designed by our team of environment biologists and specialists




GreenSSLMTM: Easily adaptive to the end user’s needs

• Variation of the types and processing levels upon the end-user’s requirements

• Online user interface, with summary reports upon factors of the area and across time

• Online user interface, implemented as a GIS layered map for the user to manage the data acquired




Procedure Technical DescriptionA p r i o r i s te p s

– Implementation of environmental mathematical models and image processing algorithms

– Definition of the data needed to be acquired to satisfy the end user’s requirements

– Collection of static land cover information on the area

P r o c e s s i n g s te p s– Conversion of all input data into

formats able to be handled under a unifying interface

– Application of all the respective computations and evaluation of the environmental significance of the results

– Deduction of statistics and comparison with archived records to created a full report

– Presentation of all the acquired results in a graphical user interface




Benefits of using GreenSSLMTM

Valuable, carefully selected, information for the most concrete environmental studiesGreenSSLMTM manages a vast variety and quantity of data in order to calculate a set of indicating parameters, as these are evaluated to be catalytic in the alterations and/or preservations of an ecosystem's status and also serve as representative identities of a region's current status.

Delivering holistic reports and optimized land use solutionsGreenSSLMTM offers constant remote monitoring and runs a combination of multiple algorithmic models, the results of which are analytically studied by environmental biologists of our team to deliver solutions which improve environmental theory and monitoring, human and wildlife co-existence and vegetation growth.




Green SSLMTM Mobile

GreenSSLMTM will offer soon a new mobile application. Ideal to use directly from the area that is being monitored.

Online environmental data transmition and upload to the main system

Sharing of information among volunteers

Transmition of data (images, videos) from the local area

Environmental monitoring information retrieval

Soon available in iOS and Android platforms




Summary

• GreenSSLMTM offers complete innovative environmental solutions, based on state of the art technology and advanced processing techniques

• The proposed implementation delivers holistic results aiming in the optimization of environmental studies, land use and economy

• The applied remote monitoring provides quick response and cost efficient services to any requirements of the end user
