Customer References in Earth Sciences

Every day, remote sensing provides thousands of images from a huge variety of sensors – from simple black and white photographs to hyperspectral imagery with hundreds of channels.This vast resource of imagery contains invaluable information which is vital for many purposes, such as monitoring the impact of climate change, assessing atmospheric pollution, modeling floods and landslides, mapping reforestation, identifying land cover and land use and supporting defense and security efforts.

Standardized image analysis and feature extraction are essential to compare results across geographic areas and support political directives, sustainable natural resource management and future-proof infrastructure planning. Similarly, in natural disasters and other emergencies, image analysis can rapidly provide maps of remote territory to assist emergency operations, save lives, reduce costs and support insurance and reinsurance services.

Earth Sciences organizations all along the value chain – data providers, service providers and end users - rely on Definiens to bridge the gap between remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). By correlating image analysis with other geospatial information Definiens enables governments, commercial entities and research organizations around the world to generate, with minimum manual intervention, accurate GIS-ready information.

"GAF uses Definiens Enteprise Image Intelligence to automise forest classifications. With relatively small effort it is possible to assign one classification scheme to different data sets which reduces the processing time significantly. Further investigations to utilize Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence for other landuse classes too are planned.” Regine Richter, Project Manager Landuse Information Systems at GAF AG

"In 2003, Planetek decided to work with Definiens for the thematic extraction from medium and very high resolution Earth Observation data. The object-oriented classification puts Definiens a step ahead of the competition. We implemented Definiens' technology in the processing chain of one of the major projects of the company - ESA GSE LAND. " Daniela Iasillo, Project Manager GSE Land
