TRE

Tele-Rilevamento Europa S.r.l has completed over 200 InSAR projects, ranging from measuring ground movement over entire countries to identifying individual building movement for forensic investigations. This knowledge and experience supports every new project undertaken.  TRE’s founders were the inventors of the PSInSAR™ technique (back in 1999), the icebreaker of the so-called Persistent Scatterer Interferometry. TRE’s tradition of innovation has made it possible to develop SqueeSAR™ (2009) and still continues today, with new algorithms and solutions. The number of scientific publications in international journals where TRE staff are co-authors is much higher than what can be claimed by any other competitor worldwide. The president and the CEO of the company have been recently awarded the “2012 eni Award” for the potential impact of their research efforts on the oil and gas sector.
