“StatisticsfromSpace”, Gates Foundation Seattle, 5-6 November 2008 INPE´s contribution to Statistics from Space: data, applications, and software Gilberto Câmara Director General NationalInstitute for SpaceResearch (INPE) Brazil
Data: INPE´s vision for the future A constellation of satellites and sensors will provide free earth observation data for all countries on Earth
“A few satellites can cover the entire globe, but there needs to be a system in place to ensure their images are readily available to everyone who needs them. Brazil has set an important precedent by making its Earth-observation data available, and the rest of the world should follow suit.”
CBERS as a global satellite CBERS ground stations will cover most of the Earth’s land mass between 300N and 300S
INPE’s space technology agenda “Global EO” – Brazil as global player in earth observation Bilateral agreements (China, Germany, UK) Multilateral Agreements (CEOS, GEO)

Data: SRTM for Africa INPE will produce and distribute an STRM-based elevation data in 30 x 30 m for Africa
Interpolation of SRTM data Interpolated 30x30 m Kriged SRTM Original 90x90 m SRTM (9x zoom)
Applications: Deforestation monitoring ~230 scenes Landsat/year Taxa anual de desmatamento PRODES: Yearly detailed estimates of clear-cut areas
Applications: Deforestationmonitoring DETER: 15-day alerts of new large deforested areas
Software: Open source GIS Visualization (TerraView) Modelling (TerraME) Spatio-temporal Database (TerraLib) Statistics (R interface) Data Mining(GeoDMA)

…and scientific credibility “Today, Brazil’s monitoring system is the envy of the world. INPE has its own remote sensing satellite, a joint effort with China, that allows it to publish yearly totals of deforested land that scientists regard as reliable.” TerraAmazon
