The Remote Sensing Center has many years of experience in conducting scientific research and research and development in the field of using aerial and satellite images to obtain information about objects, phenomena and processes taking place on the Earth’s surface. The Remote Sensing Center was established in 1976. as the Aerial and Satellite Image Processing Center (OPOLiS) carrying out unique works with the use of modern remote sensing techniques. Currently, the Remote Sensing Center carries out various research topics using optical data (visible, thermal) and radar data, we use the latest satellite imagery from the COPERNICUS Program. They concern:
• AGRICULTURE: forecasting yields, detecting and monitoring droughts, identifying crops, estimating the condition of crops;
• SWAMP AREAS (NATURA2000): energy and water balance, carbon cycle between the surface and the atmosphere, estimation of biomass, research on changes in soil moisture, classification of land cover types and temporal changes;
• BIOENERGY: detection and monitoring of energy plantations;
• NATURAL THREATS: droughts, floods, fires, landslides;
• TERRAIN CHANGES in Natura 2000 areas, agricultural areas, grass areas and urban areas
