Description
Idea
Thermal Sleuth is a project that will help in unmasking invisible pollution by using real-time satellite detection of illegal industrial thermal dumping in water.
Technologies used
Thermal Sleuth provides a bird's-eye view monitoring system using the following:
- Copernicus Sentinel-3 (SLSTR): thermal infrared sensors to detect unnatural heat anomalies in water bodies at night across vast regions.
-Galileo: every violation is logged with a Galileo-authenticated timestamp and precise coordinate, creating a "Digital Evidence Package" that is legally robust for regulatory enforcement.
EU Space for Water
This project aims to solve the second challenge: "Tracking and preventing water pollution." by trying to solve one of the most overlooked cases of pollution.
