The ALTAMIRA team brings together more than
25 staff with wide technical and scientific experience, strong skills in
project management at a European level and a good working knowledge of the
structures and procedures of international organisations. ALTAMIRA provides
four complementary types of products: (i) Studies and consultancy in space
imagery and information products; (ii) Production of mapping products; (iii)
Provision of customised services, and (iv) Distribution of space images and
of DIAPASON interferometry processing software.
ALTAMIRA has specific expertise in the
application of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) especially in the field of
Interferometric SAR for the monitoring of ground displacements, DEM
generation and change detection. Its services are provided using its own
advanced InSAR software: the Stable Point Network processing chain. Since
2009, ALTAMIRA has been the Coordinator of the European Space Agency’s GSE
Terrafirma project. ALTAMIRA INFORMATION is a part of CLS Group, world
leader in marine application. Thanks to this cooperation the company can
provide integrated services for industry, environment and security
Staff involved
 Alain
Arnaud
Dr. Alain Arnaud, CEO of Altamira
Information, obtained his PhD in Computer Science from ENSEEIHT - Ecole
Nationale Supérieure d’Electronique, Electrotechnique, Informatique et
Hydraulique de Toulouse (France) in 1997. Prior to this, he received a
degree in Engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique (X89) and a Masters
degree from the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse – INPT (France).
He has 17 years of experience in the remote sensing field and is specialized
in SAR interferometry. He served as technical officer for SAR projects at
the French Space Agency (CNES) and the European Space Agency (ESA). He had
developed ground motion detection for clients from several areas of
interest: infrastructures, mining, oil and gas, insurance, environment,
natural hazards, as well as space and research. Altamira Information is also
responsible for the development and ongoing maintenance of the “Stable
Points Network” PS-InSAR chain, which belongs to the company.
 Fifamè
N. Koudogbo
Dr. Fifamè N. Koudogbo, Project Manager for
the BIOSOS project, graduated in Electronics-Microwave from the University
of Toulouse (France). Her PhD topic, defined in a collaboration between the
University of Toulouse and the Electromagnetics and Radar Department of
ONERA, dealt with the modeling of the backscattering from natural and
artificial surfaces and the analysis of the interactions between a rough
surface and a target above it. During the same period, she participated to
projects conceiving radar for driving and/or landing assistance. In 2004,
she joined the High Frequencies Institute (HR) of the German Aerospace
center (DLR) where she worked as Post doctorant Researcher in Polarimetry
SAR interferometry for retrieval of vegetation cover characteristic
parameters. In 2007 she joined Infoterra GmbH in Friedrichshafen (Germany)
as SAR application development engineer and focused on the development of
SAR applications based on the use of the TerraSAR-X data. Since January
2009, Fifamè is working at Altamira Information as Research and Development
Engineer and Project Manager.
Oscar Mora
Oscar Mora, Project Manager at Altamira
Information, received a degree in electrical engineering in 1997 from the
Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona (ETSETB),
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). He joined the Active Remote
Sensing Group in 1999 in the field of SAR differential interferometry. In
2001, he was with the Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico
dell’Ambiente (IREA), Italy. His research was based on the study and
development of new orbital SAR differential interferometric techniques for
the monitoring of terrain surface displacements, such as the ones produced
by volcanoes, earthquakes, or human activities. He received a Ph.D. in
electrical engineering in 2004 from the UPC. He joined the Institut
Cartogràfic de Catalunya (ICC), Barcelona, Spain, and continued his research
activities in the field of SAR interferometry from 2002 to 2007. In October
2007 he joined Altamira Information, as Manager of Earth Observation
projects involving new SAR sensors, such as ALOS, Radarsat-2 or TerraSAR-X.
He is also a lecturer on SAR Interferometry for the Masters Program in
Remote Sensing & GIS at the Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions
Forestals (CREAF).
Christine Rauscent
Graduated in Spanish Literature and
Civilization from University of Sorbonne in Paris in 2003 and with a
commercial and administrative assistant degree, Christine Rauscent has about
five years experience in administrative and commercial support. She has
worked in Paris and Barcelona and recently joined Altamira Information as
sales assistant.
