We live in the era of big data and that means outstanding opportunities to get insight into manifold phenomena that shape or affect our communities and territories. On the other hand, a fair access and use of this information have to be advocated in order to turn data into valuable actions that foster safety, development, and cooperation at any level of the society. The EODH project aims at providing cutting-edge tools and methodologies in support of natural and man-made disaster response. This, by taking the best advantage of the new geospatial big data such as satellite imagery and user-generated contents. In particular, the EODH project proposes a semiautomatic procedure to assess damage on buildings and infrastructures in a short time after a disaster strikes.
The EODH project is co-design with leading external partner and stakeholders active in the fields of Earth Observation, disaster management and humanitarian aid. These are namely the ESA Center for Earth Observation (ESRIN), the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), and the Information Technology for Humanitarian Assistance, Cooperation and Action (ITACHA) that is an Italian research center of applied remote sensing for emergency response.
