The project is part of a complex program launched by the ESA, on which Enea is working in partnership with Airbus. The project uses, for the first time in the space industry, the multi-core hardware platforms using the latest Sparc V8 (LEON) and QorIQ (Freescale) systems.
Enea Romania will also develop, within other programs for the space industry, both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, as well as technologies used for identifying black holes. Enea is currently selecting engineers to take part in these research projects.
The solution developed by the Enea center in Iasi will enable the compression of satellite images on multi-core platforms, without degrading the image quality. Compression is essential both for the rapid transmission of images on long distances and for their storage. The compression algorithm will be used to archive large hyperspectral and multispectral images, without losing quality, in accordance with the ESA CCSDS standard.
