3. In a few words…
GreenSSLMTM is an integrated,
permanent monitoring system utilizing
mainly satellite technology and handling
complex computing interfaces dedicated
to
● store
● manage
● process and
● assess
environmental parameters which
characterize the holistic status of an area
offering constant remote monitoring and
protection
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
4. Motivations and Targets
● Urban spreading
Land use change, human hazardous effects upon environment, inhibited
areas near regions undergoing crisis which burdens human health
● Global economy dependence on agriculture, livestock and fishery
Vegetation growth, health and diversity, environmental and other factors
causing stresses on ecosystem’s equilibrium, optimized solutions for
increased production
● Environmental changes and wildlife extinction
Optimization of environmental theory, monitoring and modeling,
definition of the interaction patterns of all factors across a landscape,
design of crisis control and management plans

6. GreenSSLMTM Service Levels Overview
• GreenSSLMTM services range
through a scalable measure of
complexity depending on the
end-user’s requirements
• Services may vary from simply
monitoring to advanced
environmental theories
applications
• Following is a brief description
of the different levels
presented
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
8. Data management and potentials
An environment-oriented
product, aiming in establishing an
efficient relation coexistence
relation of human and
environment
Ability to monitor any
area regardless of
how remote, inhibited
or not it may be
Ability to acquire real time data
on short frequency periods, and
archive them for the deduction
of areas history and statistics
The satellite technology offers the
ability to select, manage and process a
vast amount and variety of complex
data across all the environmental levels
of a landscape (as opposed to limited
covering of a specific area/
phenomenon)
Multiple bands and high
resolution imagery
detect environmental
phenomena non
detectable by the human
eye and/or traditional
monitoring
Ability to provide land
use optimization plans, as
well as enforcement of
agriculture and other
economy factors
Professional processing
powered by environmental
mathematical models and
imagery algorithms, designed
by our team of environment
biologists
Brief environmental
report of the area on
a 3-month basis

9. Multi-Source Computing Environment
GreenSSLMTM ensures to collect the grand quantity of ambiguous
information needed for a holistic environmental evaluation and thereby
handles data of multiple origins:
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
A constellation of satellites monitoring Earth, night and day, proving high
resolution imagery, and a big collection of terrestrial data and
environmental parameters allow monitoring and protection of an area
A constellation of satellites collecting climate recordings of
surface and atmosphere chemistry
A long and detailed collection of statistics and area classification
reports upon the area
A feedback of the data acquired by the system, in the form of
statistic parameters (respective means, mean deviation, etc) and
history

● In time detection and prediction even
of upcoming hazards
● Reasoning behind the existence /
emergence of a crisis – educating the
end user on environmental factors
sensitivities
● Crisis management plan, designed by
our team of environment biologists
and specialists

11. GreenSSLMTM: Easily adaptive to the
end user’s needs
• Variation of the types and processing levels upon the end-user’s
requirements
• Online user interface, with summary reports upon factors of the area and
across time
• Online user interface, implemented as a GIS layered map for the user to
manage the data acquired
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
12. Procedure Technical Description
A priori steps
– Implementation of
environmental mathematical
models and image processing
algorithms
– Definition of the data needed
to be acquired to satisfy the
end user’s requirements
– Collection of static land cover
information on the area
Processing steps
– Conversion of all input data into
formats able to be handled under
a unifying interface
– Application of all the respective
computations and evaluation of
the environmental significance of
the results
– Deduction of statistics and
comparison with archived records
to created a full report
– Presentation of all the acquired
results in a graphical user
interface

13. Benefits of using GreenSSLMTM
Valuable, carefully selected, information for the most concrete
environmental studies
GreenSSLMTM manages a vast variety and quantity of data in order to
calculate a set of indicating parameters, as these are evaluated to be
catalytic in the alterations and/or preservations of an ecosystem's status and
also serve as representative identities of a region's current status.
Delivering holistic reports and optimized land use solutions
GreenSSLMTM offers constant remote monitoring and runs a combination of
multiple algorithmic models, the results of which are analytically studied by
environmental biologists of our team to deliver solutions which improve
environmental theory and monitoring, human and wildlife co-existence and
vegetation growth.

14. Green SSLMTM Mobile
GreenSSLMTM will offer soon a new mobile application.
Ideal to use directly from the area that is being monitored.
Online environmental data transmition and upload to the main system
Sharing of information among volunteers
Transmition of data (images, videos) from the local area
Environmental monitoring information retrieval
Soon available in iOS and Android platforms
