General description |
Overview of Challenge |
||||
5 |
What is the nature of the challenge? (What is not adequately addressed at present?) |
We need to identify variable surfaces which will lead to a number of vibroseis trucks moving at different rates. If this is likely to happen due to localised areas of relatively harder mobility, then the resources can be re-allocated appropriately in the plan, ensuring the survey is completed as efficiently as possible. |
||||
6 |
Thematic information requirements |
1. Obtain detailed topographic information, 2. Obtain detailed terrain characterisation, 4. Obtain detailed land-use information, |
||||
7 |
Nature of the challenge - What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
Unforeseen changes in terrain, which may or may not be seasonal (e.g. floodland, dense vegetation/ bush), can stimulate last minute changes in survey plans. Whilst this is manageable, it is not ideal (cost, time increases) and early foresight would help |
||||
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? |
Layered EO imagery with details of prevailing ground conditions |
||||
10 |
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? – are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
The right products could offer a highly valuable solution |
