AERIAL PHOTO AND ORTHOPHOTO FOR AGRICULTURAL CONTROLS IN ITALY

AGEA is the national Authority for the execution of the agricultural controls in Italy and the payment of the contributions coming from the EU. Since many years these controls in Italy have been done using aerial photos in B/W at the scale 1:40.000 and derived ortophotos...


DIGITAL MAPPING FOR TELECOM PROPOSAL

This projects started on 2002 and continued in the 2003 and 2004 years, and regards the creation of a cartographic database of the most important Italian Cities for telecommunication company in Italy...


TERRAITALY LIBRARY: AERIAL PHOTO COVERAGE AND ORTHOPHOTO OF ITALY

In 1988-89, for the first time, CGR has started the survey of whole Italy in a short time (less then 2 years); this project was updated during 1994, while during the 1999-2000 the “IT2000“ project was accomplished, including a colour film flight at the scale of 1:40.000, and the production of ortophoto at the scale 1:10.000 with a ground resolution of 1 meter, again covering the whole territory of Italy...


LIDAR SURVEY OF PO RIVER BASIN (ITALY)

During the year 2000 CGR started to use Lidar systems to produce very detailed Digital Terrain Models in different areas of the country and for different applications like general purposes DTM for ortophoto production, Detailed DTM for flood simulation and geomorphologic studies, coastal surveys and modelling.
One of the most important and significant project that has been the survey and the DTM calculation of the whole Po river, the most important and long Italian river, for flood simulation and modelling...


HYPERSPECTRAL SURVEY OF SICILY (ITALY)

The Mivis hyperspectral scanner, property of the National Research Council of Italy and operatively managed by CGR, the is one of the most updated system for monitoring and investigation of the environment; with its 102 channels it is able to provide an huge amount of information related to the behaviour of the terrain and of the water, in the visible, infrared and thermal infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum...


OIL DETECTION WITH HYPERSPECTRAL SCANNER IN TUNISIA

One of the application of the Mivis hyperspectral scanner survey during the last 5 years, has been the possibility to apply this kind of information to the oil exploration...


FORESTRY INVENTORY WITH HYPERSPECTRAL SCANNER IN ITALY

The Mivis hyperspectral scanner, having the possibility to record the signature of the infrared part of the spectrum in many different channels, allow the possibility to study the vegetation both in terms of it general behaviour and conditions (detection of situation of particular stress, detection of red edge shift and NDVI index), but also to monitor the different answer recorded by the sensor coming from different species of vegetation...


ASBESTOS ROOFS DETECTION AND THEMATIC MAPPING IN PUGLIA REGION (ITALY)

During the ‘60 and ’70 asbestos have been used as a material for the construction of roof and for the insulation of other parts of buildings and houses. When it has been demonstrated that this material is very dangerous for people health, it has not been used any more, and it is now important to create maps showing where there are roofs build up with this material to be able to monitor and eventually substitute or fix it...
