Earth observation

Global vegetation follow-up

Earth observation offers new opportunities for monitoring vegetation and for following up developments in agriculture and the environment. Sensors on satellites continuously transmit medium and low resolution images. VITO uses these images to obtain information relevant to you.

Satellite images for accurate and reliable information
The accuracy of satellite images is ideal for general vegetation and crop monitoring across expansive areas. Satellites guarantee a continuous supply of earth observation images.  VITO, in collaboration with its partners, has developed methods for the real-time conversion of raw observation data into specific end information. This information can be adjusted to your needs.

Follow-up of agricultural production
With VITO's operational services you can follow the evolution of vegetation and crops. Is the harvest better than last year or has the growth season started earlier? By implementing harvest predication models, we are able to provide concrete estimates about agricultural production. We are also able to map areas adversely affected by major deforestation or desertification or recent plantation.
