Satellite Data Analysis

How we model EU ETS emissions in real-time using advanced satellite imagery

Cloud Detection

We use the Sentinel-2 Scene Classification Layer (SCL) to automatically identify cloud-affected pixels, marking them as gaps to ensure accurate readings.

Akima Interpolation

To fill these gaps, we apply Akima spline interpolation, a method that smoothly estimates the missing data while preserving natural variations.
