CESBIO is a joint laboratory of four public organizations: Toulouse III University, CNES, CNRS, and IRD. There are 60 permanent and roughly 60 non permanent staff located in two permanent sites (Toulouse and Auch) and temporary sites in Morocco, Tunisia and Lebanon. About 75% of the staff is in Toulouse. CESBIO staff has multidisciplinary expertises: physics, signal and image processing, agronomy, ecology, hydrology, plant physiology, software programming, database management, GIS and Web GIS, etc.
CESBIO has a long record of activities in the development of pre-processing and processing algorithms and softwares in the optics, thermal infrared and microwave spectral domains. As an example, it specified, prototyped and validated the operational pre-processing chains for SPOT-VEGETATION. Since 2004, it is also involved in the pre-processing (cloud masking, atmospheric effects corrections, time compositing ...) of dense time series of high resolution EO data in the frame of the preparation of the Venµs mission, for which it developed algorithms and chains tested and validated with several hundreds of Formosat-2 and LANDSAT data. It then extended this work to the pre-processing of Landsat, SPOT and more recently RapidEye. CESBIO is involved in the cloud masking and atmospheric correction schemes used in the Venµs ground segment, in the Sentinel-2 simplified Level2 product processor and in the French Land Data Center.
