H2020 NEANIAS

NEANIAS (Novel EOSC Services for Emerging Atmosphere, Underwater & Space Challenges) is an ambitious project that comprehensively addresses the challenges set out in the ‘Roadmap for EOSC’ foreseen actions.

Underwater surveys have numerous scientific and commercial applications in the fields of archaeology, geology, biology, and energy involving tasks such as ancient shipwreck prospection, ecological studies, environmental damage assessment, and detection of temporal changes. NEANIAS is developing the following underwater services that will be onboarded to EOSC:

NEANIAS Underwater U1 BAT Service. Bathymetry Mapping from Acoustic Data service.

Bathymetry Mapping from Acoustic Data service delivers an advanced user-friendly, cloud-based version of the popular open source MB-System software for post-processing bathymetry through Jupyter notebooks with additional functionalities.

NEANIAS Underwater U2 MOS Service. Seafloor Mosaicing from Optical Data

The Seafloor Mosaicing from Optical Data service provides an operational solution for large area representation (in the order of tens of thousands of images) of the, predominantly flat, seafloor addressing also visibility limitations from the underwater medium.

NEANIAS Underwater U3 Map Service. Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data service presentation.

The Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data service delivers a user-friendly cloud-based solution integrating cutting-edge machine learning frameworks for mapping several seabed classes, validated for archeological, geo-hazards, energy, and other applications.
