Population Estimation


Up-to-date and custom-tailored information products are provided on amount and spatial distribution of dwellings, dwelling density and internal structure of refugee/IDP camps and temporary settlements.
Monitoring is achieved by automated analysis of Earth observation (EO) data using object-based dwelling extraction, density calculation and camp growth analysis.

Water Exploration

One key concern of humanitarian organizations supporting refugee and IDP camps is to provide drinking water in the required quantity and quality. Different data sources (e.g. Geological maps, hydrogeological maps, soil data, satellite data, SAR data, DEM) are integrated to provide hydrogeological reconnaissance maps.

This white paper provides an overview to the possibilities and constraints of remote sensing for groundwater exploration, and gives an overview to current data sources and techniques.

Environmental conditions


The impact of refugee/IDP camps on the environment is monitored and assessed using multi-temporal satellite images.
The implications of environmental change on human well-being (i.e., food and livelihood security) and ecological integrity (i.e., state of ecosystems) is being evaluated.
