Rapid Satellite Intelligence for Disaster Response & Hazard Resilience
When severe storms, floods, and landslides strike, dense clouds obscure conventional optical satellites. Bhoomicam leverages cloud-penetrating Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), multi-sensor fusion, and automated anomaly detection to deliver mission-critical damage mapping, flood extent monitoring, and rapid hazard assessment in hours, not days.
100%
Cloud-Penetrating SAR
C-band radar operates through monsoonal cloud, dense smoke, and darkness without visibility loss.
< 24 Hours
Rapid Response Delivery
Automated ingest and multi-temporal baseline subtraction produce GIS vectors within hours of orbital passes.
0.3 ha
Sub-Hectare Precision
Lee-filtered backscatter difference analysis isolates micro-landslides down to 6-pixel contiguous clusters.
Multi-Sensor
Optical & Radar Fusion
Synthesizing Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 optical, and PlanetScope 3m high-res imagery for ground truth validation.
CASE STUDIES
Real-World Hazard Missions & Operational Studies
Validated satellite deployments during critical natural hazard events, demonstrating rapid turnaround, cloud penetration, and actionable damage analytics.

Odisha Ganjam Landslide: Rapid Satellite Damage Mapping After Storm
Following the devastating storm of 28 October 2026 across the Ganjam-Kandhamal border, unbroken monsoonal clouds blinded optical satellites. Bhoomicam deployed Sentinel-1 SAR radar (track 121), isolating a sudden -13.3 dB backscatter drop across 50 damage patches totaling 36 hectares. 40 of these patches were clustered along stream corridors, accounting for 4.6 km of debris-choked drainage lines threatening downstream valleys.

Odisha Landslide Damage Assessment
Analyze multi-satellite radar damage mapping following the storm. Scrub through the timeline day by day, compare pre- and post-event imagery using the split-screen slider, and inspect individual landslide patches to assess slope stability and drainage impacts.
Timeline Playback
Scrub day by day from 27 Sep to 2 Nov 2026. Watch radar and optical passes arrive alongside daily rainfall records.

KEY CAPABILITIES
Engineered for High-Stakes Emergency Operations
Our geospatial intelligence stack converts raw radar and optical telemetry into actionable decisions before field teams can deploy.
All-Weather SAR Penetration
Sentinel-1 C-band radar operates without cloud or daylight constraints, detecting ground disturbance during peak storms when optical satellites fail.
Automated Landslide & Debris Mapping
Multi-pass baseline subtraction isolates decibel attenuation thresholds (>=3 dB in VV, >=2 dB in VH) to delimit slope failure clusters.
Stream & Hydrological Inundation
DEM-based drainage network extraction models debris deposition along rivers, warning downstream settlements of flash flood choke points.
Infrastructure & Asset Exposure
Automated spatial buffers cross-reference damage footprints against roads, power grids, bridges, and habitations within a 100-meter radius.
Multi-Sensor Optical Verification
Fuse high-resolution PlanetScope (3m) and Sentinel-2 (10m) optical imagery upon the first clear sky opening to ground-truth radar detections.
Operational GIS & Web Dashboards
Distribute interactive geospatial dashboards, standardized GeoJSON polygon vectors, and CSV metrics directly to state disaster management authorities.
OPERATIONAL WORKFLOW
From Orbital Pass to Ground Action
How Bhoomicam transforms satellite raw radar telemetry into life-saving emergency spatial data.
01
Event Trigger
Meteorological sensors detect extreme precipitation or storm landfall, automatically targeting the affected AOI.
02
SAR Acquisition
Sentinel-1 C-band radar captures the ground surface through dense clouds and heavy rainfall on targeted orbital passes.
03
Baseline Subtraction
Pre-event historical passes on the same track are baseline-compared with Lee speckle filtering to isolate backscatter drops.
04
Optical Verification
PlanetScope (3m) and Sentinel-2 optical imagery validate damage perimeters as soon as cloud openings occur.
05
Emergency Delivery
GeoJSON polygons, exposure summaries, and live interactive dashboards are dispatched to emergency response teams.
