IUMA Seminar Series on tools for Earth observation
El próximo lunes 14 de marzo a las 10:00 en el salón de actos, José Manuel Delgado, de la European Space Agency ESA dará la charla "Grid and Cloud Computing for the Earth Observation program of ESA: Research and Service Support RSS, Sentinel satellites" (Computación distribuida y en la nube para el programa de observación de la Tierra de la ESA: RSS y Sentinel). Esta charla está en relación con el Congreso BIDS 2016 (Big Data from Space) que se realizará en el Auditorio de Tenerife entre el 15 y el 17 de marzo de 2016 con la participación del IUMA.
J. Delgado es Máster en Ingeniería de Telecomunicación por la UPV, Valencia, y PhD por Delft University of Technology (Holanda) y KU Leuven (Bélgica). En 2010 se incorpora a la Agencia como Earth Observation Research Support Engineer en ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italia, y como consultor para la Agencia Espacial en Progressive Systems, Srl. Actualmente lidera varios proyectos en el Research and Service Support de ESA.
La charla será en español con el siguiente contenido:
10:00 – 11:00 h
Introducción general a la ESA y el programa de Observación de la Tierra (EO).
Introducción a las misiones de satélites Sentinel.
11:00 – 11:20 h
Pausa
11:20 – 12:20 h
Presentación del servicio de RSS.
La plataforma de aplicación Sentinel (SNAP).
Casos de uso:
1) Procesado interferométrico usando el Sentinel-1A.
2) Otros ejemplos de uso de datos del Sentinel-2.
José Manuel Delgado Blasco earned his Masters’ Telecom Eng. degree, from UPV, Valencia, and his PhD from Delft University of Technology (Holland) and KU Leuven (Belgium). While a research stay at ESA/ESRIN he worked on Remote Sensing (SAR interferometry and polarimetry applications) and on Electromagnetic simulation of a new design of corner reflector for the calibration of Dual-Pol C-band SAR data for ESA Sentinel-1. Then he joined the PhD program at Delft and KU Leuven (Belgium) specializing on Remote Sensing and Earth Observation, mainly focused in SAR, SAR interferometry, programming and image processing, with both SAR and optical imagery. In 2010 he joined the European Space Agency as Earth Observation Research Support Engineer at ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, and as consultant engineer at the company Progressive Systems, Srl.
He is in charge of testing and implementation of new services on demand based on researchers’ algorithms, providing full understanding and support during the entire service chain, and facilitating the exploitation of ESA EO datasets. These include: Research support of remote sensing applications, Integrating tools and algorithms for being processed in a parallel computing environment, Supporting the developing phase of technology projects, and Supporting near-real-time processing using remote sensing satellites.
The RSS service chain includes High Performance Computing tasks such as:
Data access and management, database management, system parallelization, grid and cloud computing, algorithm integration; Earth Observation Research Support tasks such as: Technical evaluation of research projects that exploit Earth Observation data for processing on distributed computing systems, and Data quality and data validation support; and use of ESA toolboxes: BEAM, NEST, PolSARPro, Sentinel-1 Toolbox.
