The Aquaculture monitor offers two products:
Aquaculture cage detection: An online overview of satellite data derived maps of cages and cage clusters. The products are delivered through an ISO-OGC compliant map viewer, and registered users can edit features of the detected cages and cage clusters. A proximity service can be called to automatically map across feature sets to enrich maps. In another process, estimates of cage activity over a production season can be made if there is a large enough sample available
Aquaculture ponds detection: The versatility of the Blue cloud infrastructure and the re-usability of its components will be demonstrated in a test-service that uses some of the same data sources and a similar analytical data process to the Cage Atlas. The results will be a coastal land-use classification map, fully based on Copernicus data for its remote sensing component
Oceans, seas and watersAddressing target audiences and expressing needs

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Full integration in the Blue-Cloud VRE must be completed. This requires developing BlueCloud “Native” AI and other computing capacity
Yes It can be focussed on other areas with ease.
Funding by 2030 os partially secured. The VLab shares services with other Atlas products for which funding needs to be secured. The same applies to the hosting D4Science technology.
Funds are necessary to fund:
● Services to tile and analyse Sentinel 1 (S1) and Sentinel 2 (S2) satellite data.
● ISO/OGC data ingestion services.
● VRE Generic services.
● Computational analysis (AI and geospatial)
