First SPOT5 (Take5) Ortho

 => Here is a screen copy of the first SPOT5 (Take5) ortho-rectified image (L1C) from the Lake Victoria image in Uganda, registered with a similar product from LANDSAT 8. Both images match very well, but we need to validate that much further. However, although it is not a surprise, it is good news that processors start to be working quickly.

We are starting to catch-up our late start due to the late definition of the sites. Most of the ancillary data for the 150 sites are ready (still missing the most Northern sites), and the first ortho-rectification was processed on the nominal configuration at THEIA (CNES) by the MUSCATE exploitation team. Many thanks to all the colleagues who contributed to this work, especially Karl, Dominique Vincent and Laurent !

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
