Earth Observation

The group’s founding research direction. Since 2017, in collaboration with 3vG in Vancouver, we have built industry-grade InSAR pipelines that track ground motion at city and region scale, turning satellite radar into simple signals that matter, with validation practices proven across roadways, railways, dams and mining.

That decade of field deployments built more than algorithms: large-scale pipelines, validation practices and a deliverable clients can act on: movement plus a trust score for every spot. The same wide-area sensing now extends toward the broader monitoring of critical infrastructure and security applications, aimed at new asset classes.
