Equipment

The Remote Sensing Lab owns/operates Unmanned Aerial Systems with hyperspectral, optical and thermal cameras; Flux Towers deployed in the city of Heraklion, measuring net radiation, turbulent heat fluxes and CO2 flux; a Field Spectroradiometer for capturing spectral signatures in ultraviolet, visible, near infrared and shortwave infrared wavelengths; a Sun Photometer contributing to AERONET network; and a Network of Meteorological Stations, also deployed in the city of Heraklion. The Lab possesses EO and GIS dedicated software and in-house developed codes in Matlab, IDL and Python, as well as databases with very high spatial resolution satellite data and products, including Digital Surface Models, for several urban and non-urban areas. The Lab owns several Workstations, a Cluster, as well as access to the computational facilities of the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics of FORTH.
