NaturaSat

The NaturaSat program contains a wide range of tools that enable the user to perform full segmentation of habitats and their subsequent analysis. Users have access to all application tools without limitations, allowing them to download, load, and display satellite images from the Sentinel-2 mission, orthophotos, and UAV images. The program offers tools for semi-automatic and automatic segmentation, classification, and transformation of historical maps, as well as basic hydrological modeling.

All these tools are available free of charge*.

A detailed overview of the tools is available in the user manual.

Network training is required for classification, which we offer as a paid service. If you are interested, feel free to contact us.
