Mapping of the green belt in urban areas, in the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis. This image was produced by SERTIT (Regional Agency for Image Processing and Remote Sensing), an ICube laboratory platform. It uses space imagery to assist in environmental management by surveillance and monitoring of forests, species recognition or mapping of vegetation in urban areas for example. Remote sensing is a means of holistic, detailed, homogeneous and rapid evaluation of the green belt and provides assistance to managers and decision makers in respect of these natural areas. The analysis provided thus benefits all stakeholders in the timber sector through improved characterisation and exploitation of the resource.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
