*Company description* VITO is an independent international research and service organisation in the area of land use, clean tech and sustainable development. VITO provides knowledge and technological innovations to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable society. *VITO Remote Sensing* VITO Remote Sensing is part of VITO and has more than 25 years of expertise in Earth Observation missions and technology, image processing, data dissemination, and application development, in the domains of land use, agriculture, urban areas and biodiversity. VITO Remote Sensing translates raw data into consumable information. Remote Sensing is not the goal, but a powerful tool in the search for true information about our environment, society and economy. Information that leads to intervention and impact. This expertise creates the basis for collaboration with a variety of users: academia and research institutes, private companies, the European Commission, the UN, and national and intergovernmental organisations. VITO Remote Sensing has a large user network in Europe, Africa, China and South East Asia. The team has several operational mandates in the remote sensing and image processing and archiving domain, dedicated to the global and local monitoring of vegetation, urban areas and agriculture. In the area of city mapping, VITO Remote Sensing stores and distributes aerial and mobile mapping imagery, and LiDAR point clouds, with spatial resolution up to centimeters. Automatic workflows, artificial intelligence techniques (e.g. neural nets) and a high-performance computing cluster are used to derive useful information from Terabytes of data.
