The upsurge in the use of sensors installed in pilot-less devices, known as drones, to acquire aerial images has given new life to photogrammetric applications. It was not so long ago that these applications were reserved for specialists who had mastered the mathematical principles of camera modelling, image block aerotriangulation and geometric correction.

Using two SENTINEL-1A radar images acquired on March 27 and April 20, 2016, and differential interferometry (DInSAR), the Effigis Earth Observation team measured the ground displacement that took place following this earthquake.

High-resolution satellite images acquired in urgent mode can be used to plan and manage interventions during a natural disaster (forest fire, earthquake, flood).

Using Landsat 7 and 8 satellite images, we see the extent of the natural disaster that has been raging since May 1, 2016 at Fort McMurray (Alberta).

Landsat-7 and 8 satellite images allow to see the extent of this natural disaster.
