Advanced integration of optical, SAR and UAV sensors for precise spatial analysis
Geospatial Analysis with Multi-Source Fusion
We apply advanced optical sensor fusion techniques, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and high-resolution UAV data to maximize the acquisition of meaningful geospatial information. This service allows for the integration of multiple sources to generate more accurate analyses, improve decision-making, and optimize monitoring in environmental, urban, and industrial applications.
Earth observation using satellite and airborne sensors has evolved, allowing for the combination of different technologies to achieve a more complete interpretation of the environment. This methodology significantly improves the extraction of relevant information, maximizing the capacity for multi-scale and multi-temporal analysis.
By combining images, it is possible to detect subtle changes in the terrain, characterize land cover, and monitor complex territorial dynamics that could not be effectively observed with a single source.
Multi-source fusion applications
-
Multitemporal and multiscale analysis of land use and vegetation cover
We improve coverage discrimination by combining the spectral resolution of optical sensors with the penetration of radar and the spatial resolution of UAVs.
-
Monitoring expanding urban areas
We identify patterns of urban growth, irregular settlements, and land subsidence by integrating radar signals and very high-resolution images.
-
Environmental studies and natural resource management
Monitoring deforestation, fire damage, water bodies, and coastal dynamics using satellite sources and UAVs in hard-to-reach areas.
-
Monitoring of critical infrastructure and industrial zones
We detect displacements, deformations, and structural changes by combining InSAR with aerial surveys and detailed photogrammetry.
-
Precision agriculture and crop monitoring
We integrate multi-source imagery to provide advanced agricultural analysis throughout the production cycle. This combination detects variations in vegetative vigor, water stress, pest presence, and damage from events such as drought or hail. We use UAVs for high-resolution diagnostics and satellites for regional coverage and multi-temporal monitoring.
-
Rapid post-event evaluation
After earthquakes, storms, or landslides, we use UAVs to capture detailed images and combine them with optical SAR data for damage analysis and response planning.
Applications in National Security and Geospatial Intelligence
At a global level, the integration of multi-source imagery has become a key tool in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) for national security. In the face of increasing conflicts, hybrid threats, and disasters, NATO countries and major powers in Asia and the Middle East combine optical data, SAR radar, and UAVs in advanced systems for territorial analysis, border surveillance, critical infrastructure monitoring, and strategic tracking.
Through Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, governments are transforming large volumes of satellite data into tactical and strategic knowledge to anticipate threats, coordinate operations, and make decisions based on precise and timely territorial evidence.
Multi-source geospatial fusion is a key tool to strengthen national security. At EOSAR Mexico, we integrate optical imagery, SAR radar, and UAVs to generate GEOINT applied to the monitoring of critical facilities, borders, logistics corridors, and vulnerable areas facing criminal activities or social conflicts.
By fusing multiple sensors, it becomes possible to detect clandestine constructions, track illegal trafficking routes, monitor unauthorized changes in protected areas, and oversee pipelines, refineries, ports, airports, and railways.
The all-weather/all-condition observation capacity of SAR, combined with the high resolution of UAVs and the spectral value of optical imagery, provides a comprehensive view of the territory, even in areas with difficult access, high cloud cover, or operational risks.
The application of multi-source GEOINT thus contributes to strengthening tactical planning, operational deployment, strategic surveillance, and the prevention of threats that affect public security and territorial sovereignty.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of sensors are used in this service?
We integrate optical images (such as Sentinel-2, Landsat, WorldView, Pleiades, among others), SAR (Sentinel-1, ICEEYE, COSMO-SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, among others) and UAVs with RGB, LIDAR or multispectral sensors.
What advantages does sensor fusion offer compared to individual use?
Fusion combines the penetration and monitoring capabilities of radar with the spectral richness of optical sensors and the detail of low-altitude UAVs.
Can this technology be applied in areas with constant cloud cover?
Yes. The combination of radar sensors, which are independent of atmospheric conditions, with optical data and UAVs ensures monitoring in regions with adverse weather conditions.
What level of precision can UAVs achieve?
UAVs can generate centimeter-precise digital elevation models, ideal for detailed studies and satellite data validation.
Does EOSAR Mexico perform full processing and analysis?
We have the technical capacity and experience in preprocessing, fusion, multispectral analysis, indicator generation, geospatial modeling, and decision-ready technical reports.
