Lot Fourteen based SITAEL Australia has today announced a new partnership with the University of 亚洲色吧鈥檚 Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) to cooperate in innovative research into space-based infrared instruments.
SITAEL Australia and IPAS will cooperate on utilising multi-aperture infrared sensors with intelligent processing to achieve low cost, high resolution thermal imagery.
The partnership has been conceived as part of the SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (SmartSat CRC), that sees SITAEL Australia and the University of 亚洲色吧 amongst the members developing know-how and technologies for intelligent satellite systems and Earth observation data services.
鈥淚nnovative space-based thermal imagers will be used for wide-area, bushfire early warning and tracking. Algorithms will interpret data in real time to help immediately pin point fires in areas obscured by smoke.鈥Associate Professor O鈥機onnor
