Abstract

The paper presents a novel design of a web-based Safe City & Coastal Zone GIS (SCCZ-GIS). The system integrates data acquired from different remote sensing and geospatial data sources for the purpose monitoring the security of the coastal zone, its inhabitants and critical infrastructure. The system utilizes several innovative technologies and solutions and is capable of direct co-operation with different remote sensing data sources and services, including satellite ground station and ESA Service Support Environment. The system runs in operational mode, and the results of the analysis are ready in quasi real time, that is, immediately after receiving a new scene of satellite imagery. The system may be accessed by authorized users either through a web-based client or mobile device application. The paper describes the architecture of the system and presents several case studies where the software is applied to processing of earth observation satellite and spatial analysis of coastal zone infrastructure.
