Overview

Remote Sensing for Government Decision-Making

Satellite and aerial imagery gives government departments a cost-effective way to monitor large geographies — without deploying field teams everywhere.

Replete processes raw satellite and aerial imagery into classified spatial data: land use maps, forest cover assessments, tribal area boundaries, change detection reports. We work with freely available imagery (Sentinel, Landsat) as well as high-resolution commercial satellites.

Our remote sensing work supports state tribal departments, forest departments, revenue departments, and infrastructure planning teams across India.

  • Land use and land cover (LULC) classification
  • Forest cover assessment and change detection
  • Tribal area and revenue boundary mapping
  • Encroachment and illegal construction detection
  • Crop monitoring and agricultural land analysis
  • Infrastructure change detection
  • Integration with GIS databases and dashboards

Capabilities

What We Deliver

Every capability is built from real project experience with Indian government bodies.

LULC Classification
Classify land use and land cover from satellite imagery — built-up, agriculture, forest, water, barren — at any resolution.
Forest Cover Monitoring
Track forest cover change over time — detecting degradation, encroachment, and regeneration using multi-date imagery analysis.
Change Detection
Compare imagery over time to detect land use change, new construction, water body change, and other ground-level shifts.
Tribal Area Mapping
Delineate tribal land boundaries from imagery, revenue records, and GPS surveys — for official use in PESA and FRA implementation.
Imagery Mosaicking
Stitch and process multiple satellite images into seamless, cloud-free mosaics for large geographies.
GIS Integration
All remote sensing outputs are delivered as GIS layers — directly usable in ArcGIS, QGIS, or web dashboards.
How We Work

Our Delivery Process

A structured process built around the realities of government project delivery in India.

01
Requirement Scoping
Define the geography, timeframes, resolution requirements, and output format — and select the right imagery source.
02
Image Acquisition & Processing
Acquire satellite or aerial imagery, correct for atmospheric and geometric distortions, and build cloud-free mosaics.
03
Classification & Analysis
Apply supervised or unsupervised classification algorithms and manual validation to produce accurate land cover maps.
04
Validation & Delivery
Field-truth validation, accuracy assessment, and delivery as GIS layers with full documentation.

What Our Clients Say

"Replete's satellite analysis detected encroachments on tribal land that our field teams hadn't been able to identify. It changed how we prioritise enforcement."
S
Senior Officer
Tribal Department, Telangana
"Forest cover mapping that used to take a year of field surveys is now done in weeks from satellite imagery — with better spatial accuracy."
F
Forest Officer
Maharashtra
"The LULC analysis Replete delivered is now part of our annual district report to the state. Reliable data, consistent methodology, year after year."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution of imagery do you use?
Freely available: Sentinel-2 (10m), Landsat (30m). For higher resolution, we use commercial providers like Maxar or Planet — typically 0.5m–3m.
Can you detect encroachments from satellite?
Yes — using multi-date imagery comparison, we can identify new structures, land use change, and boundary violations with high confidence.
Is satellite data accurate enough for legal land records?
For most planning and monitoring purposes, yes. For cadastral-grade legal records, we combine satellite imagery with GPS ground surveys for verification.
How often is satellite data updated?
Sentinel-2 images every 5 days. Commercial satellites can be tasked for near-daily coverage of specific areas.
What's the typical delivery format?
GIS raster layers (GeoTIFF), vector classification layers (shapefile/GeoJSON), and analytical reports with accuracy assessments.
Do you use Indian satellite data?
Yes — we work with ISRO's Cartosat, ResourceSat, and Bhuvan platform imagery alongside international sources.
