Utilizzo dei dati satellitari nel progetto SIMULATOR-ADS

In this paper, we will show how satellite images can be detected remotely in a simple way and can be a powerful source of information when traditional sources are not able to provide it. In particular, the use of remotely sensed images, acquired through the Sentinel Data Hub of the Copernicus program, will be described as part of the SIMULATOR-ADS project (Integrated ModulAre System for risk management and prevention - Enriched with Satellite Data). The project was funded by the Lombardy Region and aims to develop a platform to support local authorities for the actions of forecasting, prevention, monitoring and real-time management of risks, both natural and anthropogenic. The satellite images deriving from remote sensing are used here for the identification of urbanized areas and the assignment of a topographic class to the study area. It also describes the Geograbber tool developed to facilitate the inexperienced user in acquiring satellite images from the ESA Hub in order to map the state of the territory.
