In the last years, the need for measuring soil sealing has consolidated. However, the problem is sometimes tackled using qualitative methods, without considering to introduce some indicators of settlement sustainability that could take into account the quantity and the shape of new conversions.

GEO-K develops advanced algorithms based on Artificial Intelligence to detect and monitor land-use changes from natural lands to urban areas, also exploiting time series of satellite products. The analysis take advantages of medium and high resolution multispectral products, increasing the accuracy and speeding up the work of photointerpreters.
