Scope
| This research aims to elaborate remote sensing data (hyperspectral and multispectral) to support knowledge, management and planning of the territory. Particular focus has been given to the study of the anthropized environment. The research group has expertise in the development of reproducible methodologies on a large scale. Such competences are used with use remote sensing, cartographic, ISTAT and environmental data in the geographic information systems and web environment. Together they aim to characterize and quantify the following: – historical-artistic artefacts and the environmental context in which they are located (Figure 1); – asbestos-cement (eternit) roofing (Figure 2); – land use for the study of changes (land use, or sprawl) ; – degraded areas (water pollution, landfills, etc.) through soil thermal analysis (Figure 3); – the resources of the environment and the landscape in their different territorial context, aimed at a sustainable development of the territory also for the purposes of use, enhancement and safety. Furthermore, the team can develop synthetic themes able to typify surfaces, and realize a thematic analysis of the territory at various scales. The group collaborates in research and service activities with the Lazio Region, ASL Rome 6, ENEA, INAIL, “La Sapienza” University (Rome), Tor Vergata University (Rome), ASI, etc. |
Selected projects
| AMINAVI (Data base) https://www.cnr.it/it/banche-dati-istituti/banca-dati/1069/aminavi In this last year (2017), the research group has designed and created a database called AMINAVI (http://www.aminavi.cnr.it/), which aims at discovering the presence of asbestos in Italian Military navy and Merchant navy. The creation of the database allows: – deepen and develop knowledge related to the presence of asbestos on board ships; – recover submerged and non-homogeneous data that represent historical memory; – to make paper data available (with no order in archives / deposits) that allow us to outline an overall view, to date never realized, with the ambition to create a network between the various bodies in charge of health and environmental protection, such as: INAIL , Ministry of Health, ReNaM, etc .; – optimize public resources. |
| Collaboration Agreement with ASL ROME6 for the Creation of a WebGIS The collaboration is aimed at providing technical and scientific support to the activities carried out by the Public Hygiene Service of ASL RM6, on the subject of asbestos. The INM research group has created a webgis based on Open Source technologies. This allows you to make asbestos risk analysis, starting from the values measured in the field. The Web environment applied to a geographic information systems, proved crucial for the development of a methodology and application reproducible on a large scale revolt to town and country planning, as able to integrate remote sensing data MIVIS with map data, statistical and environmental and provide spatial information with ease and interoperability for the ASL technicians. |
