Problem we are solving
Data coming from sensors deployed in remote (aquatic) locations is seldom good quality: there are often missing sections, and the quality is not costant.
This limits the usability of the data, and forces the data user to go back to the remote site for more data, possibly adding more sensors or placing higher quality (and cost) ones.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
Using AI, and data from other sources like the Copernicus satellites, we can improve the quality of data coming from remote aquatic locations.
