More Info

The SATIM founders investigate in their research the development and application of satellite and aerial radar and optical imagery processing. They have extensive experience in scientific and commercial projects, both national and international in scope. The cooperated among others with EADS Astrium, the biggest European supplier of specialist systems and space industry services. They also took part in the international EnerGEO project, funded within the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union. Currently they cooperate among others with the European Space Agency within a PECS project.

SATIM is the first company in Poland to use satellite and aerial imagery (radar and optical ones) for so many environmental applications. The company workers have the essential knowledge and experience to conduct sophisticated analyses on: natural disasters, the impact of mining on the environment, changes in land use, city growth, building and infrastructure stability or road deformations. The SATIM company uses remote-sensing data processing using both classical algorithms and their improved versions, developed by SATIM employees.
