Remote Sensing

Mapping The Unseen

Our remote sensing and earth observation solutions offer a unique perspective on the Earth's changing landscape. From urban planning and environmental monitoring to agriculture and disaster response, our data can help you understand and address complex challenges.

At LAT, we also have a partnership with Up42 (an Airbus subsidiary), that allows us to provide high resolution satellite data for our clients. We can even task commercial satellites for repeat visits over your project area.

Environmental Monitoring

Remote sensing plays a crucial role in monitoring environmental changes, such as deforestation, urbanisation, climate change impacts, and natural disasters. It helps track the health of ecosystems, identify areas at risk, and support conservation efforts.

Agriculture & Forestry

Farmers and forest managers rely on remote sensing data to assess crop health, estimate yields, monitor soil moisture, and identify areas affected by pests, diseases, or drought. This information aids in precision agriculture practices and sustainable resource management.

Urban Planning

Remote sensing data helps urban planners analyse land use patterns, identify potential areas for development, monitor urban sprawl, land surface temperature monitoring, and assess the impact of urbanisation on the environment.

Disaster Management

Satellite imagery and other remote sensing technologies are invaluable tools for disaster response and recovery efforts. They aid in assessing the extent of damage, identifying affected areas, and supporting rescue and relief operations.

Geology & Mineral Exploration

Remote sensing techniques, including multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, are used to identify and map geological features, mineral deposits, and potential areas for resource exploration.

And more!

A key focus of our organisation is Remote Sensing and gaining the best quality data from these information-rich datasets. Get in touch for more information on how we can support your business.

  • Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area or object by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation.

    Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), hyperspectral, multispectral, optical RGB), LiDAR are all example of remote sensing platforms.

  • Passive sensors measure natural energy, such as sunlight, reflected from the Earth’s surface.

    Active sensors emit their own energy source and measure the reflectance, such as LiDAR.

  • Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) uses lasers (light) to map the distance to objects. It is used to create highly accurate 3D models of features such, forests, buildings, and coastlines.

  • LiDAR sensors, or platforms, can be mounted to fixed-wing aircraft such as planes, helicopters, UAS/drones, and even mounted to mobile-mapping platforms such as hand-held SLAM scanners.

  • Photogrammetry is the science of “stitching” overlapping 2D images together to generate 3D models or 2D orthomosaic imagery.
