Descripción del proyecto

Gestión de la tecnología de sensores complejos para la planificación de la sostenibilidad

La creciente tasa de catástrofes naturales, la explotación incontrolada de los recursos y el crecimiento de la población también han hecho que aumente de forma desmesurada el volumen de datos complejos en todo el mundo, lo que hace que la planificación dirigida a largo plazo sea muy difícil. El programa MENELAOS_NT de la red europea de formación proporcionará formación doctoral y de investigación a jóvenes investigadores para identificar y gestionar la información procedente de sensores remotos a macro y microescala, supervisar el medio ambiente y proporcionar información fundamental para las políticas sobre los retos medioambientales. También expondrá a los investigadores a la naturaleza interdisciplinar de los sistemas de explotación medioambiental multimodal, una formación y un conocimiento que es valioso para elaborar políticas efectivas sobre sostenibilidad.

Objetivo

MENELAOS_NT addresses the ever more significant problem of scientifically and technologically sensing and exploring “the world” on micro- and macroscopic scale to provide scientists with deeper insights and better understanding in order to predict and possibly control critical evolutions. This would support decision makers with more sophisticated and reliable information for deciding on sustainable measures. Essentially the project addresses societal key challenges, e.g. sustainable agriculture and forestry, bio-economy, environmental changes, resource efficiency as well as protecting freedom and security of the European society. Covering the complete chain of information generation plays a key role here, and forms a key future market with huge potential, ensuring excellent career perspectives for early stage researchers. The continuously increasing sensitivity and resolution of remote sensing, and the steadily growing range and field of view of short and medium range 2D/3D-sensorics are closing the gap between analyzing unknown scenarios from outside (remote) and from within (in-situ), however, at the cost of increasing data dimensionality and volume (“Big Data”), raising the urgent need of detecting and isolating relevant information from the ubiquitously present noise and disinformation. MENELAOS_NT addresses multi modal – multi sensor fusion to optimally combine the information, delivered by different sensors (in situ/remote, optical/non optical) on different scales, with different resolutions and with different reliability. New and intelligent (Compressive Sensing, Analogue to Information Conversion) approaches will be indispensible for this, hence MENELAOS_NT develops this complex and interdisciplinary field by combining high level scientific research and excellent doctoral training, fostering a new generation of young researchers, familiar with the necessary theoretical framework and at the same time skilful and diverse enough to advance the society.
