Proactive Automatic Imagery Intelligence Powered by Artificial Intelligence Exploiting European Space Assets.

This proposal, therefore, will design a system to fully automatize the IMINT workflow, consisting of: Automatic Acquisition, Automatic Pre-processing, (Key Challenge) Automatic Extraction, Automatic report generation, Automatic Dashboard management. Two technologies using Artificial Intelligence lie at the core of the solution that IntSen2 proposes:
 Super-resolution: Improving the resolution of imagery by a factor of 4 allows imagery from Sentinel satellites to provide value in security scenarios;
 Automatic Extraction: Applying AI based extraction techniques to super-resolved Sentinel imagery can unlock the use of all operational potential of Sentinel for security scenarios.

Goal
IntSen2 aims at researching a disruptive change, using Artificial Intelligence to develop a concept of application for an IMINT service, from a reactive service design to a proactive service design. And it does so by basing the research and proposed solutions exclusively on European assets in order to support EU operational autonomy.
