Description

 The SIMEC project - aims to establish a new methodology for acquiring Earth observation data and for aspects related to Coastal Erosion. Drones will be used to acquire high-resolution aerial images ( 45MP) that, after processing by software, will generate three-dimensional models of the collection sites. The objective will be to build a database of each location with frequent collection but always using the same flight plan in the Drone so that the only variable with change will be the time variable. All other acquisition method will be the same for each campaign. Thus, at the end of the project, we intend to have 4 digital models equally spaced in time for each location (7 locations - Torres Vedras, Lourinhã, Óbidos, Caldas da Rainha, Nazaré, Alcobaça). In this way, we intend to establish a completely digital and environmentally friendly methodology for data acquisition that, after the end of the project, results in a service of continued execution by public and governmental bodies. Furthermore, the data collected within the scope of the SIMEC project and after its processing will constitute a first verticality and will be archived in a digital information deposit (CIT – Territory Intelligence Centre) to be created by CIMOeste - Comunidade Intermunicipal do Oeste
