From Orbit to Insight.

Discover the technology behind LaGrand’s predictive data.
We turn invisible thermal signals into a clear picture of the global economy.

How We process the Data

Our trusted 6-step pipeline from raw satellite imagery to reliable datasets.

1

Data Collection from Space

We continuously access high-resolution thermal and optical imagery from leading satellite constellations like Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel-2. Our infrastructure ingests terabytes of raw earth observation data every day, ensuring we capture every relevant signal.

Cloud Removal & Correction

Satellite views are often obstructed by clouds. We utilize advanced reconstruction algorithms to patch missing data and correct for atmospheric interference. This ensures a consistent, unobstructed view of industrial assets 365 days a year.

Precise Site Segmentation

We don’t just look at regions; we look at individual assets. By mapping the exact geospatial footprints of thousands of factories, smelters, and power plants, we isolate relevant signals from background noise.

Heat Signal Analysis

Industrial production generates heat. We measure these thermal emissions with high precision. Our physics-based models convert raw thermal signals into quantifiable activity metrics, distinguishing between operational heat and environmental background.

Validation & Benchmarking

Accuracy is our currency. We rigorously cross-validate our satellite-derived indices against reported production figures and ground-truth data. This constant benchmarking ensures our signals are a reliable proxy for real-world economic activity.
