Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft).

Land use Land cover (LULC) Mapping/ Clutter Data Creation

Land Use Land Cover (LULC) maps of an area provide information to help users to understand the current landscape. Annual LULC information on national spatial databases will enable the monitoring of temporal dynamics of agricultural ecosystems, forest conversions, surface water bodies, etc. on annual basis .

Agricultural Mapping

What will the future of agriculture look like?

Well, for one thing, it will probably have robots. It will also prioritize sustainability in land management practices that will help increase productivity and decrease waste. Most importantly, though, is how modern technology such as sensors and geographic information systems (GIS) will be available to all farmers. In fact, this future is already being realized as more and more people have the ability to implement field mapping agriculture techniques into their operations.

Because farming is a firmly location-based activity, GIS is proving to be especially helpful in allowing us to fine-tune our planting, watering, fertilizing and harvesting procedures. In order to maintain sustainable agriculture practices, we are all increasingly aware of the importance of preserving and conserving our natural resources, which has to begin by obtaining a clear understanding of the resources at our disposal. GIS is a cost-effective way to help us accomplish this.

Of course, understanding the natural inputs of your environment does not mean you can control them. It only means you will be able to make more informed decisions moving forward.

Forest Mapping

Forest mapping is an important source of information for the assessment of woodland resources and a key issue for any National Forest Inventory (NFI). Nowadays, new perspectives for automated forest mapping are emerging through the latest developments in remote sensing data and techniques.

Forest Survey of India assess the forest cover mapping of the country on a two-year cycle using satellite data. The main objective is presentation of the information on forest resources of the country at state and district level and to prepare forest cover maps on 1:50,000 scale.

Hydrological Mapping

Hydrogeologic mapping is an effective way to visually depict the geology beneath the land surface. Knowing a region’s geologic framework is fundamental to understanding the geologic controls on the occurrence and movement of groundwater.

Environmental & Disaster Management

Disaster management is how we deal with the human, material, economic or environmental impacts of said disaster, it is the process of how we “prepare for, respond to and learn from the effects of major failures”.
