What you will receive as a result of the work
01
Land-unit boundary vector
In the basic option — a vector layer with boundaries of the land units of interest.
After orthorectification and, if required, a seamless orthomosaic, polygons are digitised and data are exported in the agreed format.
What you get
- vector file with land-unit boundaries
- digitised polygons for the area of interest
- export in the format agreed in the contract
Contour composition and export format are fixed in the terms of reference.
02
NC structure attributes
By agreement, attribute information on the structure of the natural complexes of interest is added to the contours.
If the customer provides additional information, an attribute table is formed. It can be delivered as a separate Excel file or as shapefile attributes.
What you get
- natural-complex structure attributes on the contours
- Excel table and/or shapefile semantics
- population depends on NC complexity and the number of contours
Attribute composition is agreed separately: without additional customer data the table may not be formed.
03
Year-by-year dynamics
If dynamics are required, a vector layer with boundaries is delivered for each year of interest.
The study goal is information on the composition and change of terrain in space and time. Special delivery schemes (one common layer or a separate layer of changed fragments) are discussed on a case-by-case basis.
What you get
- vector boundary layers for each year of interest
- if needed — a separate layer of changed sites
- basis for monitoring valuable landscapes and protected areas
The number of years and the layer scheme affect cost and timeline; archive availability for each date is not guaranteed.
04
Delivery formats
Vector formats: ArcGIS SHP, Google KML, GeoJSON.
The coordinate system and projection of the finished product are agreed before the contract. An orthomosaic is produced if required.
What you get
- SHP, KML or GeoJSON
- attributes in Excel or in the shapefile
- if needed — orthorectified images and a seamless orthomosaic
Format, projection and material composition are fixed in the contract.
How the work goes
Cost and timeline
Price depends on the cost of the ordered images and complexity: number of images for the territory, population of the attribute table, area category and number of years for determining dynamics.

Order cost — from 8 000 ₽
Timeline — from 6 working days
Consultation — free of charge
What is needed for a quote
To estimate feasibility, cost and timeline, please provide:
- area of interest: location, object coordinates in any convenient form, and area
- the specific task to be solved with the structure and dynamics of natural complexes
- available supporting data for determining structure (field descriptions, point samples, etc.)
- period over which dynamics should be reviewed
- exact geographic coordinates of the object in the required coordinate system
If the listed information cannot be provided, describe the intended use of the RS materials — specialists will analyse the requirements and propose an optimal option.

Why Innoter
Prompt access to archives
Suitable archive imagery can be obtained faster when the required area and date are already available from operators.
No aviation clearances
A new satellite survey does not require the flight clearances typical of aerial surveys.
Large and remote areas
A single satellite pass covers large areas and makes it possible to work in hard-to-reach regions.
Direct agreements with operators
Distribution agreements help select archive imagery and order new surveys from different providers.
Software and server infrastructure
Modern software and computing capacity for quality control and processing of large data volumes.
Experienced specialist team
Years of experience on complex projects and specialists in cartography, photogrammetry and remote sensing.
RS data, contours and attributes
Composition depends on commercial or free images, the dynamics period and attribute-table requirements.
1
The structure of a natural territorial complex (NTC) is the internal arrangement of the biogeocoenosis, determined by combinations of vegetation composition and age, the character of the underlying surface, microclimatic features, etc.
Change of the natural-complex structure in space and time is called landscape (NTC) dynamics.
2
Studying the structure and dynamics of natural complexes is needed for preventive measures to protect plants and animals, environmental monitoring, and identification of factors affecting landscape change.
The goal is information on the composition and change of terrain in space and time. It is used for a soil–landscape link model, protected-area boundaries and dynamics, thematic maps for recreation or nature conservation, territorial planning, logistics and modelling of environmental situations.
3
Remote sensing data are the only source of continuous multi-temporal information available for virtually all regions of the world.
Multispectral information makes it possible to analyse the territory in various channel combinations that well separate sites with different natural-complex structure.
4
At the ToR alignment stage it is decided which images to use: commercial or free. For commercial images the operators’ standard conditions apply.
If the base is free data, RS with 10 m spatial resolution is used in the work. If required, work based only on free data can be proposed.
5
NTCs follow a hierarchy: from the simple (for example, a ravine) to the complex — the geographical shell, the highest level within the planet. Formation of each complex on land took billions of years under the influence of components such as plants and climate.
Complete complexes contain all components (water, air, flora and fauna). Incomplete complexes are systems without one component, for example the seabed without air as a medium for plants. A territorial natural complex can be destroyed and restored, including under the influence of human actions.
6
Exact geographic coordinates of the object in the required coordinate system, the task, the dynamics period and, if available, supporting data for structure (field descriptions, point samples), land-unit boundaries and cadastral numbers are required.
Before the contract, archive or new survey, spacecraft, accuracy requirements for control and DEM for orthorectification, and the product coordinate system and projection are agreed.

A natural territorial complex (NTC) is a territory possessing a certain unity of nature conditioned by common origin and history of development, originality of geographical location and modern processes operating within its boundaries.
From six working days. Terms of studying the structure and dynamics of natural complexes depend on the cost of ordered images and complexity of execution.
Under the natural-territorial complex it is accepted to mean a certain system, which was formed due to the interaction of various elements of nature. The connection between the subjects of the PTC (water, air, vegetation, etc.) consists in their mutual exchange of energy and material elements. At the same time, the natural complex of a certain territory is capable of both destruction and restoration. It does it independently under the influence of human actions.
{"TITLE": "What is meant by PTC?"}
On Earth, both in the oceans and on continents, there exists a diversity of components that together form an extremely complex system of natural-territorial complexes. The key points are as follows:
- The formation of each complex took billions of years, and on land, this process was influenced by various components such as plants and climate.
- The geographical shell plays the role of the highest level, existing only within the boundaries of our planet.
- Natural-territorial complexes follow a hierarchy, representing a clear system: from the simplest, such as a ravine, to the most complex - the geographical shell.
- Natural-territorial complexes are classified into conditional groups. Complete complexes contain all components, for example, water, air, flora, and fauna. Incomplete complexes are systems where one of the components is missing. For example, for marine plants, the seabed, where air is absent, is a familiar habitat.
