TRE is working on different tools to complement its range of PS service products.

SIMCAT™ - Satellite IMagery CATalog - is a new proprietary TRE software that allows users to find out how many satellite SAR images have been acquired over an area of interest (AOI).

The visualization of results is supported by the Google Earth™ platform and is easy to use . The user defines the AOI using the Google Earth™ interface and then downloads the archive – a list of images acquired by the ERS1, ERS2, ENVISAT and RADARSAT satellites – directly on to the Google Earth™ map (see http://maps.treuropa.com/).

To access SIMCAT™, users need a login code and password. These can be requested at simcat@treuropa.com.

SIMCAT™ is available to both our existing and future clients.

The tool allows the user to identify, independently, whether a PS archive exists for an area. This could be preferred over making direct enquiries to TRE.
