Satellites & ground truthing
Satellites can cover large areas rapidly and regularly. Ground-truth data enables calibration of remote-sensing readings, and being on the ground is not subject to interruption during cloudy periods. Sentinel-1A image courtesy of isardSAT We can supply anonymized data as a by-product of our existing users, or deploy custom autonomous arrays of sensors to collect the data required. Our equipment is robust as they are designed for agricultural use so are suitable for unattended operation. They also have a full range of sensors to detect disturbance or report their location should they have been moved. We use resilient techniques based on GPRS cellular communications, but this can be upgraded to satellite communications for locations without coverage. Sentinel-2A image courtesy of isardSAT
