Intégration dans la plateforme logicielle OTB d’une interface utilisateur graphique et des algorithmes de traitement des images satellitaires de catastrophes

Lorsqu’une catastrophe majeure survient, l’organisation rapide et efficace des secours est un facteur important pour circonscrire l’impact de l’événement. Un facteur déterminant pour la bonne organisation des secours est la disponibilité d’une information rapide et fiable recensant les infrastructures et les bâtiments qui sont endommagés et ceux qui sont encore opérationnels. Pour réaliser rapidement cette cartographie, l’utilisation d’images de télédétection est une option envisageable depuis que des images satellitaires à très haute résolution, tant optiques que radars, sont disponibles. Le 20 octobre 2000, l’Agence spatiale canadienne (ASC), avec l’Agence spatiale européenne et le Centre national d’études spatiales française (CNES), signaient la Charte Internationale « Espace et catastrophes majeures ». Depuis, neuf agences spatiales se sont jointes à cette Charte. Celle-ci vise à offrir un système unifié d’acquisition et de livraison des données satellitaires dans les cas de catastrophes d’origine naturelle ou humaine.

Galleries Ontario

As a subsector within the creative industries, art galleries have been particularly hard hit by COVID-19 and subsequent repercussions related to stay at home orders and social distancing measures to control the spread of the disease. With this project, we will be addressing challenges related to the recovery of the art galleries industry in the short and medium-term, as well as exploring sustainable hybrid solutions for the long term. The student will be developing digital transformation strategies that integrate digital tools or solutions in a meaningful and purposeful way, in order to satisfy the needs and desires of audiences and customers, and so that the organization and others like it can sustainably weather future crises. This iterative development work will take into account audience experience, collective experience, participation and intimacy, core aspects of the public experience of cultural offerings.
