- for Remote Sensing (RS), photogrammetry and image interpretation which allow complex processing and analysis for multispectral satellite imagery and also for RADAR, LIDAR, etc. images by using specific algorithms for supervised and unsupervised classification and also object oriented;
- Expert software for spatial modeling of environmental noise and also for air pollutants.
