Remote Sensing & Imagery Analysis
Seeing the Earth — precisely, repeatedly, at scale.
PremiumGIS processes and analyzes multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, and SAR imagery from satellite and aerial platforms — delivering vegetation health indices, land cover classifications, change detection analysis, and environmental monitoring products for government agencies, utilities, and research organizations.
OVERVIEW
Remote Sensing & Imagery Analysis
Remote sensing allows us to observe and measure the Earth's surface at scales ranging from individual trees to entire continents — without setting foot on the ground. Our team uses Google Earth Engine, ERDAS IMAGINE, ENVI, and ArcGIS Image Analyst to process raw satellite and aerial imagery into actionable geospatial products.
Why PremiumGIS?
Our Remote Sensing & Imagery Analysis team combines deep technical expertise with real-world project delivery experience across utilities, government, and infrastructure sectors. Every deliverable passes a rigorous QA review before leaving our hands.
We work with imagery from all major providers including Maxar (WorldView), Planet Labs, Airbus (Pléiades), ESA (Sentinel-1/2), USGS (Landsat), and NASA (MODIS, VIIRS). Custom acquisition through trusted imagery partners is available for any location worldwide, with off-nadir tasking for hard-to-reach areas.

WHAT WE PROVIDE
Remote Sensing & Imagery Analysis Services
Comprehensive capabilities delivered by certified geospatial professionals.
NDVI & Vegetation Index Analysis
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), EVI, SAVI, NDWI, NBR, and custom index calculations from multispectral imagery. Crop health, forest stress, and vegetation density mapping.
Thermal Imagery Analysis
Land Surface Temperature (LST) mapping from Landsat TIRS and airborne thermal sensors. Urban heat island analysis, infrastructure leak detection, and wildfire risk mapping.
Land Cover Classification
Supervised and unsupervised classification producing land use/land cover (LULC) maps with accuracy assessment. Maximum likelihood, Random Forest, SVM, and deep learning classifications
SAR & Radar Analysis
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing for flood mapping under cloud cover, soil moisture estimation, subsidence monitoring, and forest biomass estimation using Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2.
Change Detection Analysis
Multi-date imagery comparison to identify and quantify land cover change, urban expansion, deforestation, coastal erosion, flood extent, and wildfire burn scar mapping.
Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA)
Feature extraction at the object level — building footprints, road centerlines, tree crowns, and impervious surfaces — using eCognition and ArcGIS Image Analyst workflows.
