Activities
Analyst and interpreter of data in Remote Sensing since the beginning of the development of Earth observation by satellites . Detection of the technological advances of the space industry to give an aid for oil exploration. This involved studies from the data and their processing to the practical uses in different domains.
Among the main developments : definition of the processing chain in ELF , development of stereoscopic images using SPOT for geology (Innovation Award) , statistical image analysis, development of quantitative geomorphology uses for exploration , applications of data and methods for seismic acquisition , use for production monitoring by precise measurements of ground motion ( radar interferometry ) , developing the ability to ” real time” satellite for safety and environment (accidents, pollution ), definition of new methods such as exploration of new areas ( seeps ) tool. Many relationships and international presentations .
