The Winning Idea 2012
ASIGN / GEO PICTURES - Crowdsourced, in-situ visual
Copernicus validation
• Satellite radar images in urban areas
require in-situ verification due to
backscatter
• In GEO-PICTURES, AnsuR created the
smartphone app ASIGN, which captures
and sends reliably geo-tagged and time-
stamped images to UNOSAT at CERN
• Announced on Facebook, the app was
successful in helping the UN produce
better flood maps during the 2011
