PARADIS APrototype for Assisting Rational Activities in Demining using Images from Satellites Sébastien Delhay Vinciane Lacroix Idrissa Mahamadou Signal & Image Centre Royal Military Academy - Brussels http://www.sic.rma.ac.be/ Mars 2004
PARADIS Aim: improving the planning of Humanitarian Demining campaigns • Why? • Large areas => a lot of information to manage • No map available • Some tools are not available in existing systems • Solutions: • Centralizing the information in a GIS • Using satellite imagery as regional / local map • Integrating missing tools into PARADIS • For whom? • Campaign managers, field operators (deminers) • Mine Action Community
Planification interface (MAC) PARADIS Field interface Structure of the system • Country ~ :1,000,000 • Region 1: 250,000 => 1: 50,000 • Field 1: 10,000 => 1: 1,500 • Advancement ~1: 500
streams settles tracks forests lakes annual crops soil Data (1/3) • Satellite imagery and its interpretation • Used as a topographic map of the zone of work • Interpretation= roads, rivers, fields, etc seen by experts on the image • Region and field scales • Region: 1 pixel = 10m x 10m
Data (2/3) • Field scale: 1 pixel = 1m x 1m
PARADIS IMSMA EOD/IS Data (3/3) • External data: IMSMA, EOD/IS
Minefields Roads state PARADIS PARADIS UXO Campaign follow-up ? ? ? 1. Mission announcement 2. Field survey - going to the field with useful information - collecting data on the field
Minefields Roads state PARADIS UXO Campaign follow-up 3. Planning • getting an overviewof the situation - setting prioritieson zones - managing teams - tasking - reporting
Minefields PARADIS UXO Campaign follow-up 4. Technical survey - Field: clearing minefields, roving - MAC: following and managing work progress
PARADIS: which advantages? • No data loss Data are centralized in a GIS database; digital data • No data corruption ex: X,Y coordinates can’t be inverted • No information entered twice ex: Incident report => Reconnaissance report => EOD report • “Automatic” filling of reports Data are extracted from the database by the system • Intelligent management tools ex: the tools presented today!
Conclusions PARADIS is: • A GIS that enables the user to better manage a Humanitarian Demining campaign following the different tasks assigned to deminers • Aimed to be used by demining organisations during their missions in developing countries • Useful for the campaign manager and the field operator • Will be distributed free of charges to the Mine Action community
