Soil moisture hampers the estimation of soil variables such as clay content from remote and proximal sensing data, reducing strength relevant spectral absorption features. In present study, two different strategies have been evaluated for their ability to minimize influence on by using spectra acquired in a laboratory simulating satellite hyperspectral data. Simulated data were obtained according characteristics forthcoming imager board Italian PRISMA mission. The datasets split into four...
This study aims at comparing the capability of different sensors to detect land cover materials within an historical urban center. The main objective is evaluate added value hyperspectral in mapping a complex context. In this we used: (a) ALI and Hyperion satellite data, (b) LANDSAT ETM+ (c) MIVIS airborne data (d) high spatial resolution IKONOS imagery as reference. Venice city center shows therefore was chosen for testing spectral characteristics tissue. For purpose, object-oriented...
In March 2019, the PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) hyperspectral satellite was launched by Italian Space Agency (ASI), and it is currently operational on a global basis. The mission includes imager working in 400–2500 nm spectral range with 237 bands panchromatic (PAN) camera (400–750 nm). This paper presents an evaluation of top-of-atmosphere (TOA) L1 products using different situ measurements acquired over fragmented rural area Southern Italy (Pignola) between...
Claim management is a critical process for insurance companies, requiring fairness, transparency, and efficiency to maintain policyholder trust minimize financial impact. In our previous work, we introduced Insoore AI, an insurtech solution leveraging deep learning-based computer vision automate car damage recognition localization from user-provided pictures. While this approach demonstrated the potential of AI in claims management, it faced limitations terms performance computational due...
An experimental method to select the number of principal components in minimum noise fraction (MNF) is proposed process images measured by imagery sensors onboard aircraft or satellites. The based on an measurement spectrometers dark conditions from which structure can be estimated. To represent typical land and atmospheric variability, a significative data set synthetic noise-free real Multispectral Infrared Visible Imaging Spectrometer built. this purpose, subset spectra selected within...
Despite its high importance for crop yield prediction and monitoring, early-season mapping is severely hampered by the absence of timely ground truth. To cope with this issue, study aims at evaluating capability PRISMA hyperspectral satellite images compared Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery to produce early- in-season maps using consolidated machine deep learning algorithms. Results show that accuracy type classification meaningfully poor (14% in overall (OA)). The 1D-CNN algorithm, 89%,...
The SAP4PRISMA is a four year research project which aims at developing algorithms and products for the future PRISMA mission. started on May 2010 now entering his full activities as "PRISMA like" data set has been defined test areas were selected. paper describes main objectives realized in first 9 months of project.
The SAP4PRISMA project research activities aimed at supporting the Italian hyperspectral PRISMA mission by developing preliminary processing chains suitable for to obtain high level data products agriculture, land degradation, natural and human hazards.
Soil moisture (SM) plays a fundamental role in the terrestrial water cycle and agriculture, with key applications such as monitoring of crop growing hydrogeological management. In this study, calibration procedure was applied to estimate SM based on integration situ airborne thermal remote sensing data. To aim, April 2018, two campaigns were carried out TASI-600 multispectral sensor Petacciato (Molise, Italy) area. Simultaneously, soil samples collected different agricultural fields study...
The enhanced spectral and spatial resolutions of the remote sensors have increased need for highly performing preprocessing procedures.

Claims management is a complex process through which an insurance company or responsible entity addresses and handles compensation requests from policyholders who have suffered damage losses. This entails several stages, including the notification of claim, assessment, settlement compensation, and, if necessary, dispute resolution. Fair, transparent timely claims crucial for maintaining policyholders’ trust while also limiting financial impact on insurer. Technological innovations, such as...
