Remote
sensing technologies have become indispensable tools for monitoring
the terrestrial environment. Images of Earth obtained from space
provide the capability to regularly and systematically observe the
condition of ecosystems, along with measuring the impact of human
interactions with the environment.
ISciences offers proven experience in image processing
and remote sensing. From evaluating sensor configurations, to
determining
the best way to solve a measurement problem, to developing application-specific
algorithms, to exploiting measurements that an imaging sensor makes
- we help our customers realize the ultimate application of these
important technologies.

ISCIENCES - EXPERTS IN SPECTRAL PHENOMENOLOGY
One
of the benefits of remote sensing is the
ability to collect data in parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum beyond the range
of the human eye.
In the image above right, both pine and iron were
painted with the same green paint. To the
human eye, they look - you guessed it
- green. However, in the midwave infrared (MWIR) region,
the paint
itself is fairly transparent while the revealing "signature" of
the underlying material is apparent. (Data
