Services
- Forest mapping and change detection:
Forest mapping products customized to project scale
and management needs (e.g. REDD forest classification,
baseline assessment, historical analysis and monitoring) 
Landuse and -cover classification:
These landuse /-cover maps supply valuable information supporting various environmental and resource management initiatives.- Habitat classification / modelling:
Based on species preferences, habitat requirements, existing abiotic data, GIS and remote sensing analysis, potential and/or actual habitat maps are created. - Terrain modelling:
With use of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) or LiDAR data and additional co-variate data (e.g. landcover, soil, precipitation, etc.), information on slope and flow accumulation, erosion susceptibility and 3D terrain models are derived. - Landscape/Spatial planning:
Spatial SWOT analysis to support project planning and site inventory - (Satellite) image processing:
Image gathering, pan-sharpening, ortho-rectification - Data visualisation/mapping:
Mapping of existing data with a spatial component.
Mapping of GPS and field measurements, construction
of distribution and density maps, spatial interpolation. - Fraud control:
Supporting regulating bodies with remote sensing control tools - Risk assessment:
Supporting flood monitoring, forest fire detection, monitoring of
landslide and subsidence with remote sensing
