Asbestos detection using Hyperspectral Imaging
|
Vigilance has completed the first phase of a Hyperspectral Imaging project to detect Asbestos - Cement roofing in the Netherlands. During this initial phase a total of 2.700 km² has been mapped using the Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI). Asbestos - Cement roofing has been utilized in the past but its use has been banned in the Netherlands since 1993. The Netherlands wants to eradicate all asbestos - cement roofing by 2024. Hyperspectral Imaging is a powerful technique to classify or identify materials based on its spectral reflectance. Making inventory using this Remote Sensing technique proves to be very efficient in terms of cost and speed.

NEW capabilities for I-Bridge
As part of the project “The Netherlands: country of entrepreneurship and innovation” the government initiated social innovation programmes in the field of water, safety, care and energy. These programmes must contribute to solutions for major social issues. In this social innovation programme the input of know-how, innovation and entrepreneurship for solving social issues is the central subject. The i-Bridge concept makes it possible to link a number of various communication components in varying combinations to each other based on Internet Protocols. Secure, real-time collaboration and logging hence become possible. This development solves a number of bottlenecks, as identified in the roadmap of the Social Innovation Agenda Safety, including the build-up of an integrated common situational picture. Continue
