EU FP7 project “FAST” introduction

1. EU FP7 Project “FAST” Introduction
Effect of foreshores on flood risk reduction
DSD 2015 Earth Observation Tools

Overview: objectives
The main objective of the FAST project is:
“To develop a new GMES/Copernicus downstream service by
developing products based on Sentinel data to gain spatial
information on foreshore and floodplain characteristics, such as
morphology, sediment characteristics and vegetation properties”
The main product we foresee is the MI-SAFE software tool,
supported by services based on SLA’s. Additional products will be
papers, protocols, community.
Project start 01-01-2014, Now producing first releases of product

Possible functionalities of MI-SAFE
tool and services
• Insert New schemeMI-SAFE
Modality: BASIC MVP ADVANCED
Datasource
 Global available
database (Low
resolution, High
uncertainty)
 Basic EO input
 Increased resolution
Sentinel data and
additional data for
FAST study areas,
overall reduced
uncertainty of results
 Local dataset uploads
 Sentinel 1 & 2 data use for
locally very high resol. and
minimized uncertainty
application
OUTPUTS
 Elevation profiles, tidal
range, wave exposure
 Vegetation
presence/absence
 Wave energy reduction
due to vegetation
 Quality and data
source indicator
 Link to wiki with
information pages
Added outputs
 Waterline,
 Vegetation parameters
 Roughness coefficients of
foreshore
 Sed. Stability indication
 Access to open source
software community
Added outputs
 FAST toolbox for end-user
systems
 link to expert helpdesk
 Update of EO data upon request
 Interaction on further data
quality & analysis
enhancements
More detail
More Interactivity

Tool development
Development of tools is done within the OpenEarth Framework,
this means that there is:
• The OpenEarth community http://openearth.eu
• The Deltares Open Source Community http://oss.deltares.nl/
• Discussions at the Delft Software Days http://www.dsd-int.nl/

How we get to the tool and the
services 1
Open Source Data Management process
• organize data from different data sources in an open and
transparent manner complying with EU directives and data
standards to facilitate post-processing and tool development
• Method: Use of OpenEarth
Data Stack with INSPIRE
standards

How we get to the tool and the
services 2
• Link physical data with field derived vegetation data and
scale-up to global application using satellite images

Evaluation
We are almost halfway the FAST project. You now know about the
first release of our product. We would like to discuss with you about:
– Approach that we take (methods, software)
• Data management (data portal – data lab integration)
• EO- information conversion
• Data - model integration
• Outputs – webviewer integration
– EO, global datasets that we use
– Opportunities that you see in improving useability of the tool
