The images that reach us via Remote Sensing (teledetection) provide us with information about water management in an area, or changes in the fertility of the soil. They should therefore always be analysed and the results interpreted. We can draw conclusions or make predictions depending on the type of images that are taken. Governments can take measures, lend a helping hand to nature or simply contain it based on these images. They can draw conclusions from it in order to determine the spatial planning in a country or region.
Remote sensing technology
Nothing speaks to the imagination like images of our earth from space. The images our satellites take are simply stunning. But there is a whole story behind these images – and the comparison of images over time. VITO has been researching the earth from space for 20 years now.
