19 years later , EBN has become 

a kaleidoscope of transnational 

innovative clusters and it became 

obvious that there was a 

common interest both for the 

European Commission and these 

industrial investors interested in 

innovation to seed the roots of 

strategic partnerships with 

recognised business support 

organisations such as the BICs, 

which in turn provide a link with 

entrepreneurs throughout 

Europe.

European BIC Network (EBN) 


The European Business and Innovation Centre Network 

(EBN) is a non-profit making association based in Brussels. 

Its mission is to promote the growth of Business and 

Innovation Centres (BICs), the aim of which is to create new 

small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and / or new 

activities within existing SMEs based on new ideas with 

growth potential. 

EBN was set up in 1984 as a joint initiative of the European 

Commission, European industry leaders and the first 

pioneering Business and Innovation Centres. Over the last 

two decades, EBN has become a reference point in Europe 

on innovation, spin-off, incubation, entrepreneurship, 

SMEs, and regional economic development. 

Today, EBN is the leading pan-European network bringing 

together 200+ Business and Innovation Centres (BICs), and 

similar organisations such as incubators, innovation and 

entrepreneurship centres across the enlarged Europe. 

Since January 2002, EBN holds a contract with the European 

Commission DG Enterprise and Industry, permitting EBN to 

manage the licence of the BIC trademark on behalf of the 

European Commission. EBN implements a professional and 

specific certification and quality system, using both process 

and result indicators and enabling the development of a 

network of excellence through the integration of a quality 

approach. 

The European BIC Network is a community of more than 2 

500 professionals in more than 30 countries around Europe 

and its neighbourhood. Over the last three years, BICs have 

supported more than 59 000 business plans and more than 

11 500 tenants (enterprises) are located in the BICs 

incubators, supporting more than 70 000 jobs. 


With a team of ten people based in the headquarters in Brussels, 

EBN organises various activities for its members and for SMEs, 

including the implementation of international projects/ contracts 

with the EC, and promoting the development of Business & 

Innovation Centres inside and outside the European Union: 

1. Policy: institutional representation and members’ 

promotion in both the private and public sector (local, regional, 

national, European level) 

2. European projects and thematic networks: EBN has 

significant experience in coordinating and implementing 

international projects / contracts with the EC and thematic 

networks, and successfully participated in a large number of 

initiatives since its creation in 1984 

3. Technical Assistance and Quality: feasibility studies and 

technical support for the setting up of new BICs, advice and 

assistance to candidate and existing BICs 

4. Information and animation: communication of technical 

assets via newsletters and publications, organization of and 

participation in international and national events, exchange of 

knowledge and best practices among members of the network

Wallonia Space Logistics 


Beginnings 

Between the inspired idea, which grows in the mind of the 

entrepreneur, and its realisation in a complex market, 

which is at times resistant to change, there used to be no 

system in place for offering entrepreneurs guidance, advice 

and support. 

In 1999, with the support of the Government of Wallonia, 

a number of individuals created WSL, Wallonia Space 

Logistics, a pioneering organisation in Europe, designed to 

incubate these new unprecedented high-tech businesses. 

Its intentions were clear and ambitious from the start: 

WSL had to work in the long-term and in a reactive 

manner. So the incubator was created in the form of a 

private limited company with a cleared capital of €7.5 

million. 

It is run by an administrative board which represents the 

various sectors concerned: universities, and public and 

business investors. In 2006, given the continual growth of 

its overwhelming success, the Walloon Region increased 

funding by €2.5 million. 

Objectives 

WSL nurtures projects which call for high level skills in the 

field of engineering science. It allows scientists to turn 

their ideas into reality and build businesses in the most 

realistic, secure and competitive way possible. 

To achieve their goal, WSL provides ‘seed capital’ for both 

the tangible (premises, equipment…) and the intangible 

(strategies, human resources, training…). 

This dual element may be innovative but has been 

tremendously successful and is what sets it apart from 

traditional organisations.

Aeronautical Research and Test 

Institute 

Aeronautical Research and Test 

Institute (VZLÚ) was founded in 1922, 

being one of the first establishments of 

that type on the European continent. 

More than 80 different aircraft types 

have passed through the Institute's 

labs to date. 

VZLÚ is a major centre for aeronautic 

research, development and testing in 

the Czech Republic. The Institute 

successfully fulfils orders from the 

Czech as well as foreign industries 

comprising both civil and military 

sectors with the aim of providing its 

customers with advanced technologies 

and professional services. 

Astronomical Institute, Academy of 

Sciences of the CR, v. v. i. 

The Astronomical Institute of the 

Academy of Sciences of the Czech 

Republic is one of the oldest scientific 

institutions in our country. It is the 

direct successor of the Observatory of 

the Jesuit College, located in the tower 

of the Clementinum in Prague, where 

observations (principally of a 

meteorological character) were begun 

in 1722. 

Since then the Observatory has 

undergone several changes, which 

reflected sometimes professional, 

sometimes even political and social 

reorganizations. After the emancipation 

of our Republic from the Austro- 

Hungarian Empire, the institute was 

renamed the "State Astronomical 

Observatory", and in 1940, it was 

moved as such to a regular apartment 

house in Vinohrady (Budecska St.). 

Meanwhile (in 1898), a private 

observatory owned by J. J. Fric was 

built in a small village called Ondrejov, 

located 35 km (20 miles) south east of 

Prague. This small observatory was 

donated to the state Czechoslovakia 

represented by Charles University in 

Prague in 1928.

monitoring" (IST-1999-12245), 

completed in 2002. Since then, 

an operational service was set up 

with an increasing number of 

customers, most of them being 

companies and consultants -more 

than 30 000 in 2008. The SoDa 

Service was chosen as an early 

achievement in 2007 within 

GEOSS and was presented 

within the first 100 steps towards 

GEOSS and to the Ministerial 

Summit in Cape Town in 

November 2007. 

DataForWind was creating in 

2003 under the auspices of the 

European Space Agency. It 

offers data and applications in 

wind energy. Its use is increasing 

from year to year: they satisfy 

tens of thousands of requests per 

year.

Armines 


ARMINES is a non-for-profit research organisation funded in 

1967. The relationship of Armines with the engineering and 

management schools is governed by agreements, under the 

supervision of the Ministries of Industry, Defence and 

Equipment. In line with the nature of partnership research, the 

operational unit is the joint research centre managed jointly by 

Armines and its partner engineering schools where each body 

provides personnel, investment and operating resources according 

to the volume of contractual activity. With a turnover of €42 

million (2007), Armines is the leading French Research and 

Technology Organisation. 

The Centre of Energy and Processes (CEP) is a joint laboratory 

of Mines ParisTech and Armines, of about 160 persons studying 

various forms of energy, including use of renewable energies. 


The CEP is working on the assessment of the solar radiation 

available at ground for engineering purposes by the means of 

satellite imagery since 1978 and in wind energy since 1998. It has 

created several databases containing solar radiation values and 

other meteorological and geographical parameters of interest in 

sun and wind energy (atmosphere optics, orography, ground 

albedo, land cover, air temperature, relative humidity), calling 

upon advanced applied mathematics techniques. These databases 

are continuously updated with the continuous support of the 

European Space Agency (ESA) and Eumetsat among others. An 

expertise has been gained in establishing World-Wide Web 

servers since 1993. These servers supply applications and 

databases relating to solar radiation, wind energy and industrial 

systems. 

The services SoDa (www.soda-is.com) and DataForWind 

(www.dataforwind.com) are precursors of the potential of 

GEOSS and GMES. By connecting data suppliers and 

applications providers, they act as brokers and offer a high 

quality answer to customers in the field of solar and wind energy. 

The CEP is hosting, managing and developing the middleware 

and the Web sites; it acts as the technical arm for the company 

Transvalor which manages the administrative, financial and legal 

aspects of the sales of databases of the CEP.

Vibro-acoustic damping is our core business since 1995. 

Our innovative technology is passive, mounted in parallel 

to existing structure, not depending on frequency, and 

providing better performances than classical solutions. It is 

acting on the damping factor of structures instead of 

adding mass or stiffness. This unique skill and know-how is 

based on in-house software developpement. Recent 

innovative evolution are available for composite, for flat 

panel, for thick structures, etc. which can be applied 

everywhere. 


We propose to solve your vibtation problems when all 

other solutions have been tried without success or without 

expected performances. The methodology is: theoretical 

study, performance prediction, prototype, tests and 

validation.

The UMR EPOC (Oceanic Environments and 

Palaeoenvironments) is a Mixed Research Unit (Unité Mixte 

de Recherche, UMR 5805) shared between two 

institutions : Bordeaux-1 university and CNRS (Centre 

National de la Recherche Scientifique) 

Its aims are: 

-Fundamental international research in the domains of 

littoral oceanography, palaeoclimatology, and 

environments of the continent-ocean interface 

-Research training and development in partnership with 

the University Bordeaux 1 and the EPHE 

-Observation and data collection on hydrodynamics and 

morphological dynamics of the littoral zone through the 

activities of the Service d'Observation du Milieu Littoral 

EPOC is a laboratory of 150 to 160 people, among them 

60 researchers and teacher-researchers 

40 to 50 doctoral students, post-docs, ATER and monitors 

50 technical staff : engineers, administrators, technicians 

and service staff 


Observation Services 

Cross-cutting observation activities are 

undertaken under the wing of the UMR EPOC, 

with the aims of gathering evidence for longterm 

fluctuations in littoral ecosystems and the 

supporting research programs, following two 

main avenues. 

The first avenue is defined primarily by the 

local activities of SOMLIT (Service 

d'Observation en Milieu Littoral), authorised by 

INSU, and by complementary observation 

activities. In addition to the body of 

parameters measured through SOMLIT 

(essentially physico-chemical in nature), a 

range of other, notably biological, data are 

reguarly collected. 

The second avenue aims at regular data 

acquisition on hydrodynamic factors such as 

swell and on the morphological dynamics of 

the littoral. These data are gathered in support 

of research programs on coastline dynamics, 

for which the UMR EPOC aims to develop 

predictive integrated models coupling 

hydrodynamic and morphodynamic 

(morphology of intertidal and subtidal zones) 

models. 

Shared services are divided between the two 

geographic sites of the laboratory and are 

directed locally. They provide administrative, 

IT 

and logistical support for the thematic teams 

and their research.

Global Vision Systems 


Global Vision Systems steps in the next generation of 

industrial supervisory software based on real-time 3D. Our 

3D collaborative platform offers advanced analysis of 

complex systems - in context and in real-time-, allowing to 

shorter the development cycle (design/test) and to help 

decision making (operations). The technology is based on 

animating a 3D numerical mock-up with live data. Physical 

measurements (real-time telemetry or simulated data), 

are lively interpreted into a 3D image. 

After being successfully used in space operations for two 

years, Global Vision Systems is transferring this technology 

to other industries: aeronautics, automotive, energy and 

oil. 


Global Vision Systems offers a range of products from thin 

4D visualisation web client, to heavy control & command 

solutions deployed over multiple sites: 

� EasyViewer is a 4D visualisation platform, ie 

visualisation of 3D models that evolve in real time. 

These evolutions are, for example, the positioning of 

a mobile (car, airplane, boat) in space, color changes 

(according to the temperature, pressure, 

acceleration). The 4D provides an intuitive 

visualisation support to engineers and operators as 

to general public. 

� EasyMonitoring is an intuitive analysis & 

visualisation platform, that makes easier complex 

systems analysis, by graphically interpreting 

parameters and by allowing to define hyperlinks 

between the geometrical, systemic and parametric 

definitions of the system/process. The 3D numerical 

mock-up is used as a universal media to 

communicate between operators, analysts and 

engineers, and to gather and synthesize the whole 

of informations. 

Global Vision Systems offers a number of services 

associated with its products. We are looking for partners 

specialized in aeronautics and automotive in order to 

complement our network of integrators and distributors: 

� Integration 

� Specific development solutions using the platform 

SDK 

� Training 

� Maintenance 

� Formation

TRANSVALOR S.A. 


TRANSVALOR, subsidiary of Armines, has been created in 

1984 to transfer and value into the industry the research 

results of the Ecoles des Mines laboratories. Transvalor is 

leader in Europe in the forging simulation and does 65% of 

its activity outside France – we are 30 people, doing 

software development and industrialisation, pre and post 

processors, sales, marketing and management of an 

international network of resellers/agents. 

Employees of Transvalor software department, mainly 

Ph.D. holders from the Mines ParisTech, work regularly in 

close collaboration with the CEMEF ( a Material Processing 

Research Center with 100+ staff which is a joint research 

centre of the Mines ParisTech and Armines), which backs 

the development of Transvalor software, thus ensuring its 

evolution and stability in time. Transvalor has a special 

relationship with research and development, be it academic 

or industrial, both in the material and the numerical 

computation fields. Numerous research centres, both private 

and academic, use our software for project evaluation and to 

explore new solutions to their problems. 


Transvalor markets mainly a 3D finite element software 

simulation package, FORGE. This software simulates the 

metal hot and cold forging processes and many material 

forming processes. This software leads the market and is 

becoming the reference in its category. TRANSVALOR has 

approached the plastics market, with its REM3D software 

for the simulation of real 3D injection molding. The 

company also develops and markets Thercast, a software for 

metal casting simulation. Finally, from 2006, a threedimensional 

numerical software for modelling of welding 

processes, TRANSWELD. 

Besides this software activity, Transvalor is sheltering 

editing activities, publishing books written by researchers of 

Ecoles des Mines. Transvalor was selected to edit the 

European Solar Radiation Atlas for the European 

Commission, published in 2000 in the form of books and 

CD-ROMs. Since then, Transvalor has been working 

closely with the CEP ( a research centre of the Mines 

ParisTech and Armines), for the sales of data and other 

information relating to solar and wind energy. Transvalor is 

managing the administrative, financial and legal issues for 

the SoDa Service as well as DataForWind. 

In 2008, Transvalor, Armines and DLR signed an 

agreement for the sales by Transvalor of the “atmospheric” 

data created by the DLR and of the irradiance data created 

jointly by DLR and Armines.

� IRIDA group focuses its research activities in the following Earth- 

Observation areas: 

� Detection of signals in noise involves clutter and signal statistical 

characterization. Parameter estimation is a key issue in this case. 

Emphasis has been paid to Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) Detectors 

and Clutter Maps. Furthermore, signals from different sensors can be 

fused (Decision Fusion) for high reliability decisions. 

� Statistical processing of SAR images since SAR images possess 

interesting properties for detecting various characteristics on Land or 

Sea, and their information depends on various factors such as the 

signal’s polarization. SAR statistics have been studied extensively. 

Currently, linear feature detection and region classification are carried 

out. 

� Pattern recognition and fusion in multispectral, hyperspectral and 

SAR data. Information fusion in multispectral, hyperspectral and SAR 

data is essential for improving image quality for monitoring, visual 

inspection as well as for detection and classification. 


� Methods and algorithms for land cover/use classification. 

� Fusion and visualization of multispectral data.

CAEN 


CAEN Aerospace S.r.l. is part of CAEN Group and shares with its 

Mother Company several departments and people. 

CAEN (Costruzioni Apparecchiature Elettroniche Nucleari) is one of 

the most important spin-offs of the Italian Nuclear Physics 

Research Institute. The company was founded in Viareggio in 1979 

by a group of electronics experts coming from the Italian INFN, 

Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare. CAEN designs and 

manufactures sophisticated electronic equipment for nuclear 

physics research and is today the world’s leading companies in the 

field: there are several hundreds of thousand CAEN Low/High 

Voltage and data acquisition channels now working in all the most 

important Nuclear Physics Laboratories over the World. 

CAEN is totally self contained and controls all the stages of the 

realisation of its products from design to production. It can 

collaborate with the experiments from the very early stage of their 

conception to the running period by providing impeccable after sale 

support. The quality of its products is monitored throughout their 

production cycle by the application of the norm UNI EN ISO 

9001:2000.

Centres have brought a continuous updating of the technology 

used in CAEN’s products, increasing its experience in the design 

and development of Power Supply Systems, data processing 

boards, front-end electronics, AD/DA conversion. 

The application of these technological skills to other disciplines 

(Aerospace, Microelectronics, Radio Frequency Identification, 

Biomedical Research, etc.) has created a number of activities, 

which have developed a life of their own and prompted the 

restructuring of the Society in a Net of Companies. CAEN as a 

Group can count on about 130 collaborators half of which are 

Engineers or Physicists, shared out in four main CAEN spin-off: 

CAEN Nuclear Research, CAEN Aerospace, Aurelia 

Microelettronica and CAEN RFID. 

Nowadays CAEN Aerospace and Aurelia Microelettronica are going 

to finalise a joint venture in order to offer a wider range of services 

to Customers for Space Applications.

KAYSER ITALIA SRL 


Kayser Italia S.r.l. is a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) 

and independent Italian system engineering company incorporated 

in 1986. Kayser Italia main area of business is in the study, design, 

manufacturing, integration, testing and commissioning of H/W and 

S/W systems and subsystems for: 

• space applications 

• advanced industrial research 

• environmental monitoring 

The company know-how acquired into advanced industrial 

application, has been applied to space activities. At the same time, 

the technological developments and organizational procedures for 

space projects produced a positive fall-out on industrial projects. 

During the first years, the main activities were 

concentrated in the field of Industrial Research & 

Development, especially where the applications 

required severe mechanical constraints and low power 

consumption; but very soon Kayser Italia addressed 

its mission to the Space market, which today 

represents the 90% of its business

S.A.T.E. (Systems & Advanced Technologies Engineering) S.r.l. is 

an engineering company founded in 1998 that specialises in the 

study and analysis of innovative systems and in the simulation and 

diagnostics of machinery and plants. 

SATE employs about ten graduated people, spanning mechanical, 

automation AND SOFTWARE engineering. 

The core activity is in computer modelling and simulation services 

and products, particularly in the fields of fluid handling machines, 

gas processing and automotive systems dynamics. 

Thanks to the experience in modelling, also by the participation to 

qualifying EC funded projects (DIAMOND, MAGIC), SATE 

developed innovative model based diagnostic software and 

electronic boards for real time diagnostics, so far applied to sport 

cars. 

SATE is a qualified supplier of Ferrari (IT), GE-Oil&Gas Nuovo 

Pignone (IT), SIAD M.I. (IT), Snamprogetti (IT), Linde Engineering

Systems Engineering Services 

Systems engineering services consist in all the activities of 

consultancy, study and design with regard to mechanical, 

underwater, marine and space systems for which design with a 

strongly inter-disciplinary and inter-functional approach is normally 

necessary. 

Among the systems engineering consultancy work performed by 

S.A.T.E we mention studies for the development of offshore 

hydrocarbon fields, project management and design coordination 

for an innovative water bus for Venice, study on rescue systems for 

submarines in a state of emergency and basic design of a system 

for surface material sampling in the Mars planet or comets 

environments. 

Machinery and plants simulation services 

S.A.T.E. provides dynamic simulation services of the processes 

and of the functioning and control of the machinery, which are 

necessary to verify their design. Also, the intimate knowledge of the 

behaviour of the systems studied by means of dynamic simulations 

enables the company to be a reliable consultant for their design, 

integration and commissioning. 

S.A.T.E. supplies simulation services for large plant engineering 

and contracting companies, constructors of high-powered 

machinery for energy production (turbines), gas processing 

(compressors) and liquid pumping (pumps) and for the automotive 

sector. 

Machinery and plants simulation products 

This activity are complementary to the section above and is 

conducted for customers that need ad hoc software products 

instead of the mathematical modelling and calculation service. 

S.A.T.E. has developed actual software products that can be 

licensed for the non-exclusive use of its customers for the 

simulation of various types of machinery; S.A.T.E. has developed a 

large number of software tools for dynamic simulation of vehicle 

systems (BENCH, DRIVE, CLUTCH, etc) and dynamic simulation 

in the Gas Compression and Transport Industry, notably 

ACUSYS and ACUSCOMP for acoustic pulsations in plants and 

reciprocating compressors, and COMPSYS for gas compression 

plants and their control systems. 

20/02/2009


Complementary products and services for the diagnosis of 

industrial systems and machinery 

S.A.T.E.’s entry into this sector began with its participation in the 

European projects DIAMOND and MAGIC (in which the software 

product GPMAS® was developed). These projects were the basis 

of subsequent applications in the automotive field. 

In the internal industrialisation programme referred to as SDT- 

Automotive (S.A.T.E. Diagnostic Tools - Automotive), a combination 

of software tools that contain diagnostic algorithms specially 

conceived for the automotive sector, S.A.T.E., in collaboration with 

external partners, realised its first integrated software/ hardware 

product, the SEW-AID (S.A.T.E.-EDI-WEST Autonomous 

Integrated Diagnostics). It is an electronic unit that can be 

configured in either data acquisition or diagnostic mode, connected 

with the on board car data network (CAN-BUS).

FP7 GENESI-DR - Ground 

European Network for 

Earth Science 

Interoperations Digital 

Repositories 

GENESI-DR has the challenge 

of establishing open Earth 

Science Digital Repository 

access for European and 

world-wide science users to 

seamlessly access and share 

all data, information, products 

and knowledge originating 

from space, airborne and insitu 

sensors. GENESI-DR shall 

operate, validate and 

optimise the integrated 

access and use available 

digital data repositories to 

demonstrate how Europe can 

best respond to the emerging 

global needs relating to the 

state of the Earth, a demand 

that is unsatisfied so far.

The main research aim of laboratory is creating and 

improving methods of satellite data processing 

(AVHRR, SeaWiFS, Meteosat, MSG) to the level of 

thematic maps and using it for investigation of processes 

undergoing in the sea. Thematic maps are characterized 

as: 

� fields of physical parameters marked directly on the 

base of satellite data (i.e. field of sea surface 

temperature) 

� maps describing different aspects of natural state of 

sea environment, which creation is conditioned by 

including data concerning spatial distribution of 

physical, chemical and biological parameters in the 

sea (i.e. maps describing phenomenon of 

phytoplankton bloom, dynamics and range of 

terrestrial waters propagation, depth of euphotic 

zone etc.) 

The main source of information for realization of that goals 

is University of Gdansk satellite data receiving station, for 

functioning which the laboratory LRSSA is responsible. 

Basic types of software used in our work are: 

� GIS: ArcInfo including extentions Spatial Analyst and 

Geostatistical Analyst, 

� Image Processing: IDL, TNTMips, IDRISI, SeaDAS 

The final goal of our laboratory team research activity is 

examination, generally in cooperation with specialists 

who represent different field of activity, all processes 

proceeding in the sea, which origin, mechanism, 

intensity and other characteristic features can be 

recognized and described largely owing to aid 

provided by thematic maps.

UAVision Engenharia Sistemas, Lda 


UAVision was founded in April 2005 and specializes in the 

development and construction of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), 

integrating different technologies such as aircraft control, remote 

sensing, data management and telecommunications. 

The development of on-board systems is based on the 

integration of technologies in the field of control and vision 

systems, data acquisition and telecommunication systems. 

The main applications of this product are security and 

surveillance, environmental monitoring, fire detection and 

aftermath, precision agriculture, among other applications. 

Today, UAVision is pacing what it initially planned for, having built 

the structure and integrated mechanics of the first prototype all inhouse 

project design and construction and started the second 

phase consisting on the on-board systems (implementation of the 

servos, definition of the sensors on-board, data management 

system, communication protocol, communication system between 

the plane and the ground station, etc.). UAVision is also 

performing the first flight tests of the airplane. 

During the development of our main project, UAVision has also 

been developing several projects on systems integration and 

prototyping engineering solutions based on client requests, in the 

areas of our in-house expertise. 

In parallel, our remote sensing department has stretched out to 

other applications such as the usage of ground electrical 

conductivity sensors for agricultural applications. UAVision is also 

equipped with near Infra-Red image acquisition equipment which 

has been used for aerial digital photography (using piloted 

airplanes) to produce normalized difference vegetation index 

(NDVI) maps for crop management. 

Other projects currently under development include automation 

systems, and wireless data systems. 


PRODUCTS 

UAVision has the capability of delivering a wide range of client 

defined engineering products in the following fields of expertise 

Aeronautics: 

- Flight Control; 

Electronics: 

- Flight Sensor Systems; 

- Environmental Sensor Systems; 

- Mechatronics; 

- Wireless Communication Systems; 

- Industrial Control;

Remote Sensing: 

- Sensor systems; 

Our products are client defined and can be composed of several 

engineering solutions and systems integration. Products are 

backed-up by support services ranging from engineering and 

technical support to integrated logistics and customer support. 

SERVICES 

Electronics: 

- Payload Design; 

- Satellite Communication (via Inmarsat D+); 

Remote Sensing: 

UAVision collects remote sensing information by 

integrating different technologies in the areas of 

aeronautics, electronics and image processing. 

The services made available by UAVision for application 

in Precision Farming, Environment Monitoring and Forest 

Management, include Aerial Digital Photography (visible 

and near infra-red bands) and soil property and canopy 

mapping from geo-referenced data collected by proximal 

remote sensors. 

• Aerial sensors 

Our aerial platforms use multi-spectral sensors on board 

to obtain aerial images of the terrain. The photographs 

are later processed to obtain a final product which is 

corrected and geo-referenced. The information collected 

on the spatial variability of the biomass is made available 

as false colour images or vegetation index maps such as 

NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) maps. 

With the certification of the SUAV (Small Unmanned 

Aerial Vehicle) platform developed by UAVision, these 

remote sensing services will be carried out by using the 

SUAV aircraft. A substantial reduction on the cost of 

obtaining the remote information and a greater flexibility 

in mission planning is therefore expected. 

• Ground sensors 

For acquisition of information on the soil physical and 

chemical properties and its spatial variability, UAVision 

uses proximal remote sensors mounted on ground 

platforms: 

- Apparent electrical conductivity 


Page 17 of 21 

Soil apparent electrical conductivity data and 

respective positioning information are obtained 

by associating information from an 

electromagnetic induction sensor and a 

differential GPS (DGPS). The system is mounted 

on a vehicle developed by UAVision and pushed 

by a tractor or quad-bike. As a final product, 

UAVision delivers high resolution maps of soil 

electrical properties that are related to the soil 

salinity, the amount of clay and water, and the 

20/02/2009


depth of bedrock. 

- Gamma Ray Spectrometry 

Radiometric are performed by recording the 

spatial distribution of the natural gamma ray 

emissions of the soil in geo-referenced positions. 

Gamma radiation is emitted by the radioactive 

isotopes of potassium (K), thorium (Th) and 

uranium (U) and varies along the Earth’s surface 

with the type of soil and bedrock. Gamma 

emission readings are related to the presence of 

certain minerals and elements in the soil surface. 

- Ground Penetrating Radar 

Ground Penetrating Radar can be used to collect 

information about the hydro-geologic properties 

of the surface layer of the soil. This sensor’s high 

spatial resolution information can be used to 

determine the depth of the water table, the soil 

moisture content and the depth of different soil 

layer at geo-referenced positions. 

• Terrain Validation 

The validation of the remote information collected can be 

performed by UAVision. This validation encompasses 

comparing the measurements / observations from georeferenced 

positions (using a DGPS) with variations 

observed on images or maps obtained by remote 

sensing. Examples of the kind of information that can be 

collected for validation are: descriptions of the vigor of 

the ground cover; the presence of pests and diseases; 

the amount of nutrients and water in the soil and results 

from any other laboratorial analysis performed to the 

plants and soil. 

• GIS 

The information collected is processed using GIS 

software. Data are delivered to the client in the final form 

of maps and images or in other digital formats with georeferenced 

records that can be manipulated by the client 

at will. The analytical techniques used in processing the 

information can be determined by the client but as a 

general rule, UAVision uses the common techniques of 

geostatistical analysis and cluster analysis. 

• Precision Farming 

For Precision Farming, along with the acquisition of 

remote sensing information, UAVision also performs the 

installation and calibration of yield monitors in combines 

and grape harvesters and the integration of the data with 

DGPS information to obtain yield maps. UAVision also 

complements these services with map interpretation for 

variable rate application of inputs and selective 

harvesting.

Institut de Geomàtica (Institute of 

Geomatics) 


The IG was founded in 1997 as a public consortium, with own legal 

entity, composed of the Generalitat de Catalunya (local government of 

Catalonia) and the UPC. 

Its mission is the development of geomatics through applied research 

and education in support of society, institutional and industry needs 

both at national and international levels. 

The IG is currently structured in two research departments and one 

educational area. 

The two research departments are focussed in Remote Sensing and in 

Geodesy and Navigation, respectively. Its members have a two 

decade experience in Earth Observation data/image 

processing/applications as well as in sensor data fusion. 

The activities of the Remote Sensing unit are mainly in the area of 

SAR: image processing, Interferometric and differential SAR 

applications (DInSAR). Its aim is the developement of tools for 

analysis and computation for land subsidence using DInSAR techniques 

and the subsequent generation of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). 

The second sector of activity is the thematic application of digital 

photogrammetry to areas as the water quality, forrest and precission 

farming. Last activity area are the airborne SAR and LIDAR 

technologies. This unit also developes terrestrial active remote 

sensing activities as LIDAR in combination with ground-based SAR. 

The areas deployed at the Geodesy and Navigation department are 

mainly sensor orientation by hybridation of INS and GNSS 

technologies applied to Photogrammetry and Earth Observation 

imaginery/data capture systems. 

Educational area provides the knowledge transfer and trining based on 

the in-house knowledge in Earth Observation fields as LIDAR, SAR, 

information systems and LBSs. 

Nowadays, the education area of the IG is carrying out (with UPC) the 

elaboration of the first Master in Geomatics in Catalonia in the 

scope of the European Higher Education Space. This formation 

programme is a challenge that involves other European universities, 

research centres and industrial and institutional stakeholders in various 

fields of Geomatics and remote sensing. 

The IG is offering a modular executive training program in airborne 

photogrammetry and remote sensing as well as other activities as 

organization of workshops and conference to disseminate knowledge 

and innovation in remote sensing and in Geodesy&Navigation 

technologies/topics.

ASCOMP GmbH is a Research and Development Company specialized in 

Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (CFD) for the design of 

industrial and environmental processes. We also deliver computational solutions - 

on project basis- to conventional and high-tech large & small companies and 

Ingenieur Bureaus, working in energy conversion, thermal management and 

ventilation of buildings, chemical, oil & gas engineering, metallurgical and 

process engineering, and microfluidics systems (electronic cooling and medical 

devices). 


ASCOMP has developed a new CFD software (TransAT) for various industrial and 

environmental problems, best suited for multiphase systems. 

- Advantages of ASCOMP’s CFD software TransAT over available softwares 

include the focus on complex multi-fluid and heat transfer capabilities. 

- TransAT is based on precise simulation of the dynamics of the fluid interface and 

heat and mass transfer, particles, including phase change, marangoni effects, 

contact angle and capillary driven flows. 

- TransAT uses the Immersed Boundary Technology (IST), where CAD files 

representing the objects are immersed with a simple Cartesian grid. Grid generation 

is thus made very easy, fast (10 to 20 minutes for a 3D setup), simple, and user 

friendly. Advantages inlcude dispensing with skewed grids, reducing thus gridrelated 

numerical errors. 

- TransAT uses automatic Block based Mesh Refinement (BMR), where additional 

blocks of refined grids are added to critical flow zones, e.g. near walls for boundary 

layers. Similarly, blocks can be removed automatically from non-critical flow regions. 

- TransAT is based on distinct modules; each one deals with specific flow features: 

implict for RANS simulations, explicit for LES and V-LES and multiphase flows. 

- Thanks to IST, TransAT solves conjugate heat transfer problems without coupling 

with external codes. 

- TransAT copes with moving boundaries automatically, implemented within IST.

Microflown Technologies BV 



All products are based upon the Microflown, a MEMS based 

sensor that uses the temperature difference in the cross 

section of two extremely thin heated (platinum) wires. 

Major application is the measurement of the acoustic 

particle velocity, the complementary dimension to describe 

a sound field next to sound pressure. 

Close to a vibrating surface, the particle velocity is a direct 

measure for the normal structural velocity, that can be 

measured non contact now. 

The range 1 and 3 D sound probes can be used for both 

acoustic near and acoustic far field measurements, and 

allow unprecendented insights to be gained for sound 

source localization and ranking. 

Both vibrations and sound radiations can be measured now 

simultaneously in a non contact manner, eg during a launch. 

On site testing services are provided as well, as the array 

measurement techniques are portable. 

The Microflown sensor platform can also be used to 

measure temperature, mass flow, vibration, acceleration 

Clean room research is carried out for the further 

development of the sensor platform.
