The role of Copernicus and open data in national surveying
Cop4ALL
In the latest expert interview, INTERGEO TV sheds light on the innovative Cop4ALL NRW project. The remote sensing method from Geobasis NRW was developed to integrate freely available satellite data from the Copernicus program into the state constitution and land management in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
INTERGEO expert interview
Our guest in the INTERGEO expert interview is Jens Riecken, Chairman of “Geobasis NRW”, the authority responsible for land surveying in North Rhine-Westphalia. At national level, he is deputy chairman of the Geobasis steering committee. He has also been Vice President of the DVW, the German Association for Surveying, Geoinformation and Land Management, and organizer of INTERGEO for several years. In this interview, he explains Cop4ALL and categorizes the applications.
The role of Copernicus and open data in national surveying
Copernicus was crucial for the use of satellite data for state surveying and environmental administrations in Germany. Jens Riecken, Chairman of Geobasis NRW, emphasized how open data serves as the backbone of new business models, minimizes the initial investment risk and promotes project progress.
Artificial intelligence and remote sensing: a technological leap forward
Cop4ALL uses advanced remote sensing and artificial intelligence technologies to provide up-to-date information on land cover. AI plays a crucial role in analyzing large amounts of data and continuously improves the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring processes. This integration is crucial for various administrative and environmental applications and provides a modern, technical approach to land management.
Radar technology and its impact on the monitoring of mining regions
Radar data is essential for accurate distance measurements, especially when monitoring ground movements in mining regions. In North Rhine-Westphalia, where open-cast mining activities are widespread, radar technology provides precise monitoring. As mining operations are scaled back, continuous monitoring is required to manage ground movements, with data achieving an accuracy of up to 2 mm. This precision is crucial for making informed policy and environmental decisions.
