Satellite imagery makes it possible to observe geographic areas over time, identify surface characteristics and examine changes in land cover and environmental conditions.
GEODESIAS provides specialized services for sourcing, preparing, processing and comparing Earth observation imagery.
Applications
- Finding and selecting imagery for a specific area.
- Preparing satellite imagery for analysis.
- Producing land-cover and land-use maps.
- Analyzing vegetation, water bodies and surface features.
- Detecting changes between observation dates.
- Processing multispectral and radar imagery when appropriate.
Deliverables
Depending on the project, deliverables may include processed imagery, thematic maps, temporal comparisons and indicators derived from available datasets.
Imagery sources, dates, spatial resolution and processing methods are selected according to the client's objectives and the limitations of the underlying data.

Services and expected deliverables
Satellite Imagery Search
We locate available satellite imagery by location, date, resolution and required technical characteristics.
Documented Search and Selection of Satellite Imagery
Find suitable scenes for a study.
Expected deliverables: STAC inventory of imagery and assets in JSONL or CSV with the query used; selected COG imagery batch in COG/GeoTIFF with a manifest; scene-coverage index map in GPKG with an attribute table.

We correct, crop, combine and organize satellite imagery to support comparison and analysis.
Orthophoto Mosaic and Preparation
Combine georeferenced imagery from different sources.
Expected deliverables: Mosaic VRT or GeoTIFF, source files and seam checks.
Binary Thematic Masks Based on a Documented Threshold
Identify pixels meeting a specific numeric or spectral condition.
Expected deliverables: Raster mask with optional vectorized version, thresholds, NoData and area measures.
Organized Satellite-Band Data Package
Separate image bands need consistent organization, compositions and reference systems.
