AIPLAN

The AIPLAN project stands at the forefront of technological innovation, seamlessly integrating various domains like geodetic engineering, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to tackle the challenge of land deformation. By harnessing these established technologies, this venture is set to revolutionise industries such as surveying, infrastructure monitoring, and environmental observation. Its comprehensive approach promises substantial benefits, delivering precise and reliable data that can inform critical decisions and enhance operational efficiency across multiple sectors.

At the heart of AIPLAN's ongoing research and development is the refinement of a sophisticated cloud-based platform. This platform houses cutting-edge algorithms for Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Precise Point Positioning (PPP), ensuring unparalleled accuracy in deformation measurements. Furthermore, this project leverages advanced AI and machine learning (ML) techniques for thorough big data analysis, drawing from both GNSS and Earth Observation (EO) sources. This dual approach not only improves the precision of measurements but also enhances the capacity to process and interpret vast amounts of data, leading to more insightful and actionable outcomes.

AIPLAN's commitment to innovation extends to the development of a state-of-the-art machine learning system designed to integrate low-cost, low-power devices with InSAR corner reflectors for fixed-point surface deformation measurement.  This precise calibration ensures that the data collected is accurate and reliable, which is essential for monitoring surface deformation. By continuously pushing the boundaries of technology, AIPLAN is paving the way for more effective and efficient infrastructure and environmental management. AIPLAN is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the Navigation Innovation Support Programme (NAVISP).
