Cartolytic turns satellite and aerial imagery into measurable, decision-ready information about the land. Working with open archives such as Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8/9 alongside commercial sub-metre constellations, we process raw scenes into analysis-ready data and the indicators your team actually needs — vegetation health, land-cover change and biomass — anywhere in the world.
Our methods span multispectral and multi-temporal analysis: vegetation indices (NDVI, EVI), supervised and machine-learning land-cover classification, and change detection that pinpoints what changed, where and when. For carbon programmes we model above-ground biomass and carbon stock to support REDD+ MRV and Verra/VCS reporting, with automated pipelines that flag deforestation or disturbance as new imagery arrives.
Teams rely on these outputs across forestry and conservation (deforestation and forest-cover monitoring), agriculture (crop health and yield indicators), carbon project development, and public-sector land management and spatial planning. From our base in Bucharest we deliver for clients across Romania and internationally, in both English and Romanian.
Every engagement ends in something you can use: land-cover and change-detection maps, NDVI and time-series layers, carbon-stock estimates and analysis-ready imagery — delivered as reports, interactive web layers or data feeds.

02Can you provide analysis-ready imagery?
Yes — orthorectified, processed high-resolution imagery ready to drop into your analyses.
03Do you handle radar (SAR) as well as optical?
Yes — Sentinel-1 radar alongside optical workflows.
04Can you monitor an area over time?
Yes — multitemporal analysis and recurring monitoring pipelines, including daily cadence with Planet.
05Do you support carbon / REDD+ monitoring?
Yes — biomass and carbon-stock estimation, forest baselines (Hansen) and MRV monitoring tools.
06Can you process drone imagery?
Yes — aerial and UAV acquisition and processing, including agriculture through AGROGIS.
