The Geospatial Artificial Intelligence Analysis for Tailings Storage Facilities (GAIA-TSF) aims to design and develop the prototype of a system based on satellite earth observation and machine learning algorithms to achieve continuous multi-level/multi-scale characterisation and monitoring of Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs). To achieve this goal, GAIA-TSF consortium will engage in interdisciplinary and international collaborative research and development, integrating the fields of geoscience, Earth Observation, and Machine Learning Science as well as five countries (Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Zambia and South Africa).

Charakteristika projektu

The project will focus on establishing strong interactions with user communities (mining authorities and mining industry) involved in TSF operational activities with the aim of defining clear customer-specific functional and technical requirements. These requirements will lay down Key Variables that could be used as parameters to monitor TSF as well as precise performance objectives for the GAIA-TSF prototype. On this foundation, the cooperative work between scientists and the mining operational communities will lead to explore how three technical disciplines, namely satellite earth observation, geo-engineering and machine learning, can be integrated into the design of a prototype supporting the automatic detection of anomalies and risks in TSFs. Based on the designed variables and structured training datasets, different machine and deep learning algorithms will be tested and evaluated to design and develop a prototype supporting the automatic detection and prediction of anomalies and risks in TSFs.
