Earth Observation Data Challenge
Earth Observation Data Challenge
How can we use earth observation data to monitor the economic activities in select countries in Asia?
CHALLENGE OVERVIEW
The use of earth observation (EO) data has increasingly become popular for crisis monitoring and response. Economic research has started using EO data to draw patterns and key insights into the economic impacts of COVID-19 crisis. It is key for organisations and governments to obtain timely and accurate information in order to provide appropriate response during and after crisis.
How can we use earth observation data to monitor the economic activities in select countries in Asia?
ADB is calling for solutions to measure the short-term changes in economic activities brought about by COVID-19. This specific challenge will make use of EO data of any applicable satellite images or any processing infrastructures. Solutions should provide models and data analytics presented in a dashboard format in select countries in Asia, specifically in Cambodia, People's Republic of China (PRC, specifically, Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia.
DATA
This challenge will utilise the following data:
- Free and Open EO Data coming mainly from the Copernicus Constellation;
- Commercial EO Data;
- Non-EO data
YOUR SOLUTION SHOULD BE TO ADDRESS TWO OR MORE AREAS OF INTEREST BELOW:
PRODUCTION
Energy production, (e.g. non-renewable);
Industrial production, (e.g. emission monitoring)
AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
e.g. agriculture production (e.g. harvesting and other practices); sustainable use and unusual practices; environmental resource monitoring
TOURISM
e.g. parking lots in the proximity of beaches and natural parks, resorts activities and facilities, etc.
TRANSPORT AND TRADE
e.g. emission monitoring, goods transported via land, marine and air
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
e.g. temporary set-ups for jobs and relocations, urban transportation, etc.
