Maritime surveillance

Creating radar mosaics of large areas

Creating mosaics from radar scenes for a given period allows you to show the current status of vast territories.

Can be applied for solving a number of problems - monitoring, classifications, decision making.

Intensive oil and gas development results in extensive air, water and land pollution, wildlife and plant degradation, exhaustion of natural resources, ecosystem disturbance, desertification and considerable losses in biological and landscape diversity. There are also natural pollution sources in the sea like mud volcanoes or griffins. High resolution SAR data can be used to detect and identify man-made oil spills.
