Forest Use Case Validation Report v2

This deliverable is the final version of the validation work of CANDELA Platform. The document describes the process and results of testing the following tools: Optical Change Detection, SAR Change Detection, Data Mining and Data Fusion and Semantic Search. The platform and the tools and libraries available in it have also been tested. The validation process was based on a general check of the tools functionality and a summary of the requirements in the traceability matrix. The second part of the validation was based on an analysis of the tools within two use cases: Abrupt Natural Disaster and Forest Health Monitoring, where the possibility of their potential use and meeting the requirements set by users was checked. Wherever possible, numerical methods were used to evaluate the tools. In other cases, verbal description was applied. The validation has confirmed the possibility of using the tools for the scenarios presented.
