Very High Resolution satellite images offer a unique view of what lays in, on and around urban and rural settlements. It provides a cost-effective and simple method of monitoring wide areas both locally and globally, as opposed to using in situ data, and is an indispensable tool for managing the actions and events that impact urbanisation leading to urban sprawl.

From Urban To Rural: Enabling Sustainable Urban Planning and Development Using Satellite Imagery
The definitive guide to acquiring and using satellite imagery in the urban planning industry.
DETAILED ANALYSIS
Very high resolution satellite imagery is clear enough to show road lines, sidewalks, vehicles, small structures and even people. This allows for precise analytics for city development. It is ideal for:
- Studying Traffic Patterns
- Crowd Management
- Small Feature Identification
- Verifying Property Lines
- Mapping Road Features
- Walkability Analysis
MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
We offer more spectral diversity and better spatial resolution than any other satellite imagery provider – allowing you to see more of what is actually happening in your city. Multispectral imagery can assist in identifying building materials, separating organic and synthetic surfaces, analysing plant health and much more.
This has endless applications including environmental impact studies, compliance reporting and impervious surface calculations.
Ecopia GFX
By European Space Imaging
Ecopia Global Feature Extraction (GFX) Powered by European Space Imaging is a unique partnership that utilises the freshest, highest quality satellite imagery along with the most advanced artificial intelligence from Ecopia.AI (Ecopia) to offer accurate geospatial feature extraction at continent-wide scale. The product comes with up to 12 core features eligible for extraction, so users can receive comprehensive land cover maps with zero in-house GIS work.
The resulting vector maps are delivered as easy-to-use shapefiles, enabling users to focus on necessary analytics rather than time consuming map making.
City Morphology
Large-scale monitoring with VHR satellite imagery provides valuable information about the morphology of a city. Understanding the patterns of new construction and traffic in a rapidly growing municipality provides insights into new infrastructure requirements.
Mapping and GIS activities are greatly enhanced with the use of VHR multispectral and stereo satellite imagery.

Satellite Imagery for Emergency Management
The use of satellite imagery for emergency response and management is invaluable. Both optical and SAR images help rescuers save lives when disasters happen, assist with damage assessments, and in many cases contribute to successfully preventing and predicting emergencies. Which events can be prevented? How exactly do first responders use satellite images? When are they better than other methods? We have summarised our 20+ years of experience in this article.
Satellite Imagery as a Valuable Tool for the New Common Agricultural Policy 2023–2027
On 1 January 2023, the new Common Agricultural Policy for years 2023–2027 entered into force. Hand in hand with the provided subsidies goes the necessity for monitoring and controls, which falls to the individual Member States. Therefore, an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective source of data is needed. Such source is Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. It allows you to conduct in-depth analysis of plant and soil conditions, map land use at wide scales with incredible detail and accuracy, and ensure that agricultural goals are being met.
