Remote Sensing
We analyse satellite and aerial imagery to classify land cover, monitor vegetation health, and detect change over time — supporting decisions in agriculture, conservation and land management.
Image needed
Satellite/aerial imagery output, e.g. an NDVI or land-cover classification map on a screen, or a wide aerial landscape shot.

Remote sensing lets you monitor large or hard-to-access areas without a field visit for every observation. We work with satellite and aerial imagery to produce land cover classifications, vegetation indices (such as NDVI) and multi-date change detection, tailored to the resolution and revisit frequency your project needs.
This work pairs naturally with our drone survey and environmental mapping services — drone imagery for high-resolution, site-level detail, and satellite imagery for broader, ongoing monitoring across a larger area or over multiple seasons.
Typical deliverables
- Land cover and land-use classification maps
- Vegetation health indices (e.g. NDVI) over time
- Multi-date change detection analysis
- Summary reporting suitable for technical and non-technical audiences
FAQs
What is the difference between remote sensing and a drone survey?
Remote sensing typically uses satellite or high-altitude aerial imagery to monitor larger areas over time, while drone survey captures very high-resolution imagery of a specific site. We often combine both depending on the scale and detail required.
How often can areas be monitored using remote sensing?
This depends on the imagery source and your objectives — from monthly to seasonal or annual monitoring — and we help scope the right frequency during project planning.
