Remote Sensing

Remote sensing data, such as satellite imagery, is viewed by many as a great backdrop for maps. However, it can be used for much more. We use remote sensing data in many of our projects to update existing datasets and provide up-to-date information on crops and vegetation. Remote sensing data are available for all areas of the world and provide an accurate, cost-effective solution for classifying agricultural features and assessing potential exposure from agricultural inputs to surface water bodies.

Waterborne’s remote sensing portfolio from over a decade of experience includes:

• Landscape characterizations using SPOT, Landsat, and IKONOS imagery to separate and classify agricultural classes.
• Applied knowledge of ERDAS IMAGINE® and ENVI® imaging software applications.
• Exploratory work in hyperspectral imaging, feature extraction tools, and use of lidar to characterize vegetation height.

Waterborne provides a variety of remote sensing related services, including image acquisition, correction, processing, and classification combined with ground truthing. We can also host acquired image data (aerial photography and satellite imagery) for our clients on secure servers and provide internet-based access.
