GreenSSLMTM: Easily adaptive to the end user’s needs • Variation of the types and processing levels upon the end-user’s requirements • Online user interface, with summary reports upon factors of the area and across time • Online user interface, implemented as a GIS layered map for the user to manage the data acquired www.aratos.grwww.www.greensslm.com

12. Procedure Technical Description A priori steps • Implementation of environmental mathematical models and image processing algorithms • Definition of the data needed to be acquired to satisfy the end user’s requirements • Collection of static land cover information on the area Processing steps • Conversion of all input data into formats able to be handled under a unifying interface • Application of all the respective computations and evaluation of the environmental significance of the results • Deduction of statistics and comparison with archived records to created a full report • Presentation of all the acquired results in a graphical user interface www.aratos.grwww.www.greensslm.com

13. Benefits of using GreenSSLMTM Valuable, carefully selected, information for the most concrete environmental studies GreenSSLMTM manages a vast variety and quantity of data in order to calculate a set of indicating parameters, as these are evaluated to be catalytic in the alterations and/or preservations of an ecosystem's status and also serve as representative identities of a region's current status. Delivering holistic reports and optimized land use solutions GreenSSLMTM offers constant remote monitoring and runs a combination of multiple algorithmic models, the results of which are analytically studied by environmental biologists of our team to deliver solutions which improve environmental theory and monitoring, human and wildlife co-existence and vegetation growth. www.aratos.grwww.www.greensslm.com

14. Green SSLMTM Mobile GreenSSLMTMwill offer soon a new mobile application. • Ideal to use directly from the area that is being monitored. • Online environmental data transmition and upload to the main system • Sharing of information among volunteers • Transmition of data (images, videos) from the local area • Environmental monitoring information retrieval Soon available in iOS and Android platforms www.aratos.grwww.www.greensslm.com

15. Summary • GreenSSLMTM offers complete innovative environmental solutions, based on state of the art technology and advanced processing techniques • The proposed implementation delivers holistic results aiming in the optimization of environmental studies, land use and economy • The applied remote monitoring provides quick response and cost efficient services to any requirements of the end user Green Space Services for Local Monitoring www.aratos.grwww.www.greensslm.com
