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 !

As always, it has been a long journey from the idea, at the beginning of the century, to the selection in 2013 as the seventh Earth Explorer Mission by ESA, to the […]

Satellite Stereoscopy for Water Resource Monitoring?

=> In arid or semi-arid regions, where irrigation is widespread, monitoring agricultural water resources is essential to anticipate shortages. These resources may come from large dams, small reservoirs, or groundwater aquifers. This is the case in the state of Telangana, in South India, where numerous large dams (shown in cyan blue in the figure below) […]

Evolution de l’altitude de la ligne de neige au cours des 41 dernières années dans le bassin versant du Vénéon (Oisans)

Pour contribuer à caractériser les conditions hydrométéorologiques lors de la crue torrentielle qui a frappé la Bérarde en juin, j’ai analysé une nouvelle série de cartes d’enneigement qui couvre la période 1984-2024 [1]. Grâce à la profondeur temporelle de cette série, on constate que l’altitude de la ligne de neige dans le bassin versant du […]
