Neo bv

Profile

NEO is an innovative independent Dutch company, established in 1996. NEO applies satellite imagery in management of infrastructure and environment, as well as in agriculture and forestry. NEO assists both new and experienced users of remote sensing through the supply of satellite imagery, of software to process images and especially of knowledge: NEO??s most important activity is the interpretation and processing of satellite imagery into useful information. NEO works across the globe.

Services

NEO is specialised in processing of satellite imagery on behalf of our customers. NEO supplies information used for the updating of databases, maps, GIS– and CAD-environments, in studies, etc. NEO also acts as consultant for customers who use or intend to use remote sensing. NEO assists companies and government bodies in the outsourcing of secondary activities, related to the use of earth observation in keeping databases up to date, production of maps, monitoring of infrastructure, nature areas, forest concessions and crops. NEO??s senior advisors are used to mange projects in complex institutional, organisational and technical environments. Internationally NEO has carried out assignments in the European Union and Central Europe, in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Our innovations are usually conducted in a partnership with our customers. Examples are:

• The detection of changes, important to keep databases up-to-date, for instance of road infrastructure in The Netherlands;
• The monitoring of forest concessions to meet certification requirements for sustainable forestry and carbon sequestration;
• The early detection of lower (or higher) yields in agriculture, risks of forest fires on a global scale using scatterometry.

Interpretation of satellite imagery is a profession, requiring knowledge of problems with which the customer is required. NEO has expertise in amongst others, geology, geography, ecology, land use agriculture and forestry. Project examples can be found in our English project references.

Satellite Imagery

On the start page of the site the possibility is offered to search on your own for satellite imagery on the Internet, but you can also leave this to NEO. NEO is an agent for operators and master distributors of satellite images. When you buy an image from us you pay the international price. NEO?ƒˆs fee is paid by the operator. For imagery where user licenses and copyrights are out of the ordinary we indicate our fee beforehand. The service is based on knowledge and experience of satellites, ground stations, etc. as well as on personal contacts world-wide with centres and persons, with access to images. For larger orders NEO is often capable of negotiating attractive discounts.
