About Altimètre Earth Observation

Altimètre resells a 50 cm optical archive from partner constellations and turns imagery into analytics: crop types and yields in Europe and the Black Sea region, and building footprints across Africa. Imagery and derived layers come with full capture metadata and licence terms per scene.

Data sources and methods

Where the data comes from
Partner very-high-resolution commercial satellites, Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 open data, aerial survey partners, and in-season field surveys for ground truth.
How it is collected
Archive licensing and tasking through partner constellations, in-house orthorectification and radiometric processing, and machine-learning models trained on field-surveyed labels.
What sets it apart
Per-scene licence transparency, analytics validated with in-season field surveys, and open-data fusion that keeps derived layers affordable.

    Crop maps matched our field surveys

    Crop-type maps for our Black Sea regions agreed with our agronomists' field visits on the large majority of parcels. Yield estimates are most useful as a trend through the season rather than an absolute number early on.

    From archive search to delivery in two days

    We needed 50 cm imagery over three construction corridors with low cloud cover. They shortlisted scenes, sent previews the same afternoon and delivered orthorectified tiles two days later. Licence terms for sharing with our client were clear.
