Unleash the power of geospatial information
The company
For over 20 years, Geomatys has been providing expertise in geodesy, complex data processing and advanced representation modes.
Who are we ?
DATA INFRASTRUCTURES
The geospatial sector generates exponential quantities of data
Geomatys develops high-performance infrastructures designed to absorb and leverage massive volumes of geospatial data generated by satellites, sensors, web scraping, etc. These sources continuously produce geolocated information essential for many sectors, whether for fleet management, environmental monitoring, or the tracking of critical infrastructures. Our datalake and cloud-native platform solutions make it possible to organize, cross-reference, and analyze this heterogeneous data to extract strategic insights.
Our expertise relies on advanced technologies such as cloud computing, distributed processing, and metadata optimization. We use solutions like Hadoop/Cloudera and Kubernetes, combined with scalable storage systems (Ceph, Rook, Swift, S3), to ensure scalability and resilience tailored to the challenges of geospatial big data. We have notably contributed to strategic projects such as SparkInData, GeoSUD, and CreoDIAS, facilitating access to and exploitation of large-scale spatial data.
In response to sovereignty challenges and the specific needs of sensitive sectors such as Defense and Healthcare, we have progressively deployed our own cloud infrastructure, ensuring full control over data hosting and security. This approach enables us to support our clients in implementing solutions tailored to their regulatory and strategic requirements, while guaranteeing a high level of performance and confidentiality.
Geomatys’ activity in the field of Geo-datascience is not confined to the implementation of proven solutions such as Computer Vision for the automatic detection of objects in satellite images, photos or videos, but extends to the whole algorithmic field of artificial intelligence in order to seek new outlets for the application of machine learning or deep learning for the development of rapid mapping solutions and behavioral analysis. Our teams are currently working on several R&D projects in these fields.
GEODATASCIENCE
The multiplication of geospatial data sources, the ever-increasing need for real-time analysis, and the growing power and maturity of Machine Learning and Deep Learning technologies, have all contributed to the evolution of geographic information processing.
GEOSPATIAL VISUALISATION
Geomatys pushes the boundaries of mapping by integrating 3D/4D geospatial data streams to visualize complex information from meteorology, oceanography, and other multidimensional domains. Thanks to recognized Open Geospatial Consortium standards such as 3D-Tiles, our solutions ensure accurate and high-performance rendering.
Our Examind technology easily converts 2D data into 3D/4D streams, optimized for web platforms such as CesiumJS and game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity. Our R&D teams have even developed a 3D-Tiles plug-in for seamless integration, paving the way for innovative applications in geospatial simulation, Serious Games, and digital twins.
With Geomatys, unlock the full potential of geographic data with immersive, interactive visualizations for the most demanding sectors.
Our fields
DEFENCE
We have been active in the defense sector for over 10 years, in particular through large-scale projects for industrial players in this field. Our strong involvement in the maritime and naval sector has also led us to work on a recurring basis for the French Navy, on themes often mobilizing the full spectrum of our teams’ skills.
SIMULATION & DIGITAL TWINS
The Examind platform embodies Geomatys’ expertise in large-scale geospatial data management and exploitation. With a datalake integrating global datasets and real-time streams, it enables the creation of accurate and dynamic digital twins.
With Examind, organizations can visualize, analyze, and leverage their geospatial data in 3D/4D, integrate real-time sensors (OGC SensorThings), and enrich their models with OSINT sources. This robust technology adapts equally well to the needs of Defense, Smart Cities, Environment, or Serious Gaming, providing powerful tools for simulation, strategic monitoring, and geospatial intelligence.
By combining technological sovereignty and innovation, Geomatys provides a turnkey solution to fully harness geospatial data and transform strategic decision-making.
SPACE & EARTH OBSERVATION
Geomatys has been involved in Earth Observation data issues since the company was founded, and in a more sustained way over the last ten years, through projects carried out for CNES, ESA, and RESTEC, a subsidiary of the Japanese space agency (JAXA). The work carried out for these organizations ranges from R&T programs to the production of operational solutions.
Among the most emblematic of our achievements in this sector includes the creation of a metadata catalog for all CNES missions, a Cloud-based maritime surveillance application making privileged use of the marine observation data produced by JAXA satellites, and more recently the creation of an ARD (Analysis Ready Data) mode service for the exploitation of GCOM satellite data produced by the Japanese Space Agency. This solution combines the use of Examind Server’s geospatial webservices with the bigdata processing capabilities of the Examind Datacube module. The project makes it possible to deliver elaborate products from raw GCOM data, without having to pre-calculate intermediate products
ENVIRONMENT
Geomatys plays an active role in the development of environmental projects, thanks in particular to long-standing collaborations with organizations in the sector.
The Geomatys teams have thus contributed to the development of infrastructures for biodiversity monitoring/management, as well as risk management (dikes, industrial structures).
Thanks to this expertise, the company now publishes two SaaS solutions closely linked to environmental themes:
Every drinking water producer carries out water analyses. AQUALIT is a SaaS platform that gives any producer controlled access to their data, facilitating analysis and anticipating changes in water resources.
ShoreInt brings together applications that put artificial intelligence and Big Data at the service of decision-makers, coastal managers and scientists. ShoreInt enables in-depth, real-time analysis of coastal data, facilitating informed decision-making and the implementation of sustainable strategies to protect and value our coasts.
HEALTH
Since 2020, Geomatys has been developing EpiWise, a platform for anticipating epidemiological threats driven by evolving environmental factors. This work aims to provide decision-makers in public health and industry with access to geo-intelligence.
