General description |
Overview of Challenge |
||||
|
5 |
What is the nature of the challenge? (What is not adequately addressed at present?) |
We need to identify soft ground to avoid seismic vehicles getting stuck |
||||
|
6 |
Thematic information requirements |
1. Obtain detailed topographic information, 2. Obtain detailed terrain characterisation, |
||||
|
7 |
Nature of the challenge - What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
Soft ground not only reduces the accuracy of our seismic output, but also delays operations by slowing the vehicles. |
||||
|
8 |
What do you currently do to address this challenge?/ How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
Online imagery, ground survey teams |
||||
|
9 |
What kind of solution do you envisage could address this challenge? |
As well as information relating to terrain characterisation, analysing topographical data can also be useful since soft ground normally occurs in surface depressions. |
||||
|
10 |
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? – are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
