Descripción del proyecto
Tecnología espacial para promover la previsión econométrica y epidemiológica
La tecnología espacial ha demostrado ser extremadamente beneficiosa para lograr avances en otros campos, como la inteligencia artificial y el aprendizaje automático , así como para la economía y los sectores relacionados con la sanidad. Esta tecnología permite supervisar parámetros importantes, lo que facilita la investigación eficaz de desastres antropogénicos, crisis sanitarias, efectos sobre el medio ambiente e, incluso, efectos sobre la economía. Sin embargo, es necesario organizar los múltiples factores observados y correlacionarlos con los macroparámetros y las diferentes escalas temporales. El proyecto EYE, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará un novedoso prototipo de servicio que utilizará los datos de Copernicus para el supervisar y modelizar los parámetros críticos con el fin de proporcionar una previsión y un pronóstico econométrico y epidemiológico eficaces.
Objetivo
Space technology connected with Artificial Intelligence and machine learning techniques is one of the most rapidly developing field of science and also play a key role to control disaster by space like Covid-19 outbreak. While space technologies have been successfully applied to a small number of macroeconomy and heath care related matters over the last decade, there is neither a significant utilization of space elements nor a systematic analysis of needs for space assets in this sector yet.
There are a significant number of indirect parameters observable from space that can be correlated to the impact on the economy of natural, health (including epidemic) and man-made disasters. Classical environment parameters (geographical, climatological and hydrogeological) and man induced impact on the environment (pollution, heat) can be combined with economic parameters of human activities impacted by the epidemic including transportation, industry, and commerce. Specific human activities can be directly correlated with the progression of the diseases i.e. increase of heat delivered by crematorium in the affected areas as well as in the dwelling areas due to lock-down restrictions.
All these “observed parameters” need to be correlated to macro parameters related to the progress of the epidemic and its impact of the of the infection to the economy at different scales. At medium- and long-term time scale, this methodology enables the near real-time monitoring of macroeconomic parameters during the recovery phase following the end of the emergency outbreak.
The project EYE intends to propose a prototype service based on Copernicus data, automatic image processing supported by artificial intelligence integrated with modelling and statistic and geospatial data into an IT platform able to provide econometric and epidemiologic nowcasting and forecasting data.
