NaturaSat
The NaturaSat application combines geobotanical research with modern mathematical methods. It utilizes data from the Sentinel-2 satellite, orthophotos, and UAVs to identify precise boundaries of habitats, enhancing knowledge about their current distribution and spatio-temporal changes.
The software integrates various image processing techniques along with vegetation data into one universal tool, allowing for comprehensive exploration of habitats. In addition to segmentation, it also offers other tools such as monitoring, classification, transformation of historical maps, and basic hydrological modeling.
Tools available in the Trial version of the application
The NaturaSat program contains a wide range of tools that enable the user to perform full segmentation of habitats and their subsequent monitoring. In the trial version of the application, the user can try out basic operations with the program for up to 30 days. The user has the opportunity to download, load, and display satellite images from the Sentinel-2 mission, use semi-automatic and automatic segmentation tools, and save resulting polygons in KML format. Statistical changes on the created polygons can be monitored using the habitat monitoring tool.
Displaying Sentinel-2 mission images
The tool allows the user to download, load, and display satellite images obtained from the Sentinel-2 mission.
Semi-automatic segmentation
Semi-automatic segmentation enables the segmentation of areas using nonlinear segments created by the user with a mouse.
Automatic segmentation
After entering parameters, the tool allows automatic segmentation using evolution from the initial polygon towards the boundaries of areas.
Habitat
monitoring
The monitoring tool enables tracking statistical changes computed from optical channels of satellite images from different periods.
Paid tools of the application
Within the paid version, the user unlocks the full potential of the NaturaSat application. This allows the user not only to load data from the Sentinel-2 mission but also orthophotos and UAV images. In addition to segmentation and monitoring tools, the paid version unlocks tools for classification, transformation of historical maps, and basic hydrological modeling, enabling the user to conduct even more detailed analysis of the studied habitats.

Training of the NatNet Networks
The classification tool is based on deep learning methods and utilizes Natural Numerical Networks (NatNets).
If interested, we offer network tuning for a selected group of habitats, with consultations provided by users during the preparation of the training dataset.
Downloading and displaying satellite images
The NaturaSat application allows users to load and display all optical channels of satellite images obtained from the Sentinel-2 mission. New images can be downloaded directly through the user interface using the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem API.
Semi-automatic segmentation
The semi-automatic segmentation tool allows users to input boundary points of an area using the mouse. These points are then connected to form nonlinear segments of a polygon, which replicates the boundaries of the segmented area. After completing the semi-automatic segmentation or closing the polygon, the resulting polygon is saved in the user interface’s list, from where it can be exported for further use.
Automatic segmentation
After entering parameters, the tool allows initiating the evolution of the initial polygon. This polygon is evolved by a mathematical model of automatic segmentation towards the boundary of the selected area. The resulting polygon and its positions during evolution are saved in the user interface’s list, from where they can be exported for further use.
Monitoring of habitats
The habitat monitoring tool enables the calculation of statistics from the intensities of optical channels of satellite images located within selected segmentation polygons. Statistics computed from different time periods can be compared, allowing users to monitor significant changes over time.
Classification
The classification tool is based on deep learning methods and utilizes Natural Numerical Networks (NatNets). The result of the classification is relevance maps, which indicate the potential occurrence of classified habitats in the input image.
