What's New in ITEP
(Printer-friendly version)| July 2010 | | APOPO-PARADIS project final report | The PARADIS (a Prototype for Assisting Rational Activities in Demining using Images from Satellites) software was developed by the Signal and Image Center (SIC) of the Royal Military Academy (RMA) in Belgium as an information system dedicated to Mine Action. It was originally developed to support the demining activities of the Belgian Bomb Disposal Service (DOVO) and later adapted for evaluation by APOPO to assess its potential to manage APOPO’s mine detection work using rats in Mozambique.
Development trials were carried out during the period 2005-2008 and the final system was installed at the end of October 2008 at the APOPO premises in Mozambique. Notwithstanding promising field tests the adapted PARADIS system showed several weaknesses which prevented APOPO from using it operationally.
The final report includes a description of the system, together with a summary of its strengths and weaknesses. |
