Researchers from the Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH, Austria combined Earth observation and the Internet of Things (IoT) by dividing the surface of our planet into equally sized pixels.
Each Pixel Twin is a treasure case containing data from Earth observation portals associated with a particular area and is identifiable and addressable with an IoT object. The grid of pixels, covering Earth’s full surface, will live within EU's FIWARE IoT framework, which brings together data sources with the services built on top of them.
The “Pixel Twins – integrating Earth’s surface into the internet of things” project was initially submitted through ESA’s Open Discovery Ideas Channel (OSIP).
