This project builds on our initial successful Engage project which introduced UrtheCast to student's capabilities that provided research into the combined use of optical and a variety Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to produce Earth Observation analytics. UrtheCast is a BC-based company with offices in Vancouver (HQ), San Francisco, St. Louis, Washington and Moscow. They are developing multiple spaceborne imaging sensors to supply a web-based cloud-hosted processing system, with imagery covering each square kilometer of the globe. To be successful, they need to deliver specific applications to a large and varied customer base at a commercially justified price. The original NSERC Engage provided initial studies with potential long-term research partners in global remote sensing employing sophisticated data fusion and cross training techniques with a variety of remote sensors. In particular, key inroads were made by the student to provide analytics for specific applications to be delivered in an Web-accessible cloud-computing environment. The intent of this proposed EngagePlus grant is to continue to work on the Web-accessible cloud-computing environment, taking the current proposed infrastructure to a testing phase with users. We believe this work will build further opportunities to pursue recommendations for a larger, ongoing applied project in remote sensing and data fusion research and the development of analytics and applications to build on Canada's leadership in applied earth observation.

该项目建立在我们最初的成功接洽项目的基础上，该项目将UrtheCast引入到学生的能力中 这为光学和各种合成孔径雷达(SAR)的组合使用提供了研究 制作地球观测分析。UrtheCast是一家总部位于卑诗省的公司，在旧金山温哥华(HQ)设有办事处 旧金山、圣路易斯、华盛顿和莫斯科。他们正在开发多个星载成像传感器来 提供基于网络的云托管处理系统，图像覆盖全球每平方公里。 要想取得成功，他们需要通过 商业上合理的价格。 最初的NSERC Engage为全球潜在的长期研究伙伴提供了初步研究 遥感使用复杂的数据融合和交叉训练技术与各种遥感 传感器。特别是，学生在为特定应用程序提供分析方面取得了重大进展 在可通过Web访问的云计算环境中交付。这项拟议的EngagePlus拨款的目的是 继续在网络可访问的云计算环境上工作，利用目前提议的 基础设施进入与用户的测试阶段。我们相信，这项工作将创造更多的机会来追求 对遥感和数据融合研究中正在进行的较大应用项目的建议以及 开发分析和应用程序，以巩固加拿大在应用地球观测方面的领导地位。
