Remote Sensing

RMSI has extensive expertise in satellite image interpretation and processing, having worked with most of the commercially available satellite data products, including IKONOS, QuickBird, SPOT, ASTER, IRS, Landsat, Radarsat, MODIS, and NOAA.

RMSI’s remote sensing services include:
	Land use/land cover morphology data (used in wireless network planning)
	Vector updates
	Land use land cover mapping for environmental applications
	High-resolution urban mapping
	Agricultural crop acreage estimation and NDVI based crop yield estimation
	Forest density mapping and species level forest mapping
	Lava mapping
	Hyperspectral based mineral mapping
	Forest fire mapping
	Hydrogeomorphic mapping and image based soil mapping
	Ocean Color Monitoring (OCM) images for primary productivity and chlorophyll estimation
	Snow and glacier mapping
	DEM extraction from stereo pair of medium resolution images
	DEM extraction from Interferometric Radarsat images
	Feature extraction and Digital Terrain and Surface Modeling (DTM/SDM)

RMSI uses satellite images to derive valuable and accurate information for a wide range of applications such as:
	Telecom
	Natural resource mapping
	Watershed management
	Livelihood development
	Land use
	Utility planning

RMSI’s value added remote sensing products/services include:
	PAN-sharpened multi-spectral imagery products
	Natural color PAN-sharpened products
	Resolution merging across satellite platforms
	Seamless color balanced mosaics of satellite images
	Land use/land cover mosaics of large areas
	Building elevation extraction from single off-nadir high resolution images

RMSI has powerful hardware to store huge image data sets, including terabyte servers and dual processors. For processing larger geographical areas, RMSI uses high-end remote sensing software, such as SOCET SET and PCI Geomatica.
