Remote Sensing.

The service

Our remote sensing expertise provides concrete spatial solutions ranging from qualitative analysis to quantitative derivation of invaluable information obtained using active and passive sensors. Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area using satellite imagery. This process involves querying the visible and invisible data contained in rasters and obtaining information from aerial orthophotos and satellites to make spatial decisions.
