Thematic Processing

Therefore, they are effectively used in solving a wide range of tasks related to control of natural environment and man-made features. The most important areas of using these data include studies of natural resources and subsurface resources, monitoring of natural and man-induced disasters, ecological monitoring and others.

Special methods called thematic processing are used for interpretation of space images to extract information for integrated, inter-linked studies of natural environment. Thematic processing includes various procedures such as image analysis, classification of objects, etc.

 Results of thematic processing of airspace images can be presented as a series of mutually agreed thematic maps displaying spatial position, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of natural and economic objects of the respective territory.
