Mitsubishi Jisho Design Inc., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Junichi Tanisawa; hereinafter referred to as Mitsubishi Jisho Mitsubishi Jisho Design) and the Remote Sensing Technology Center of Japan (Headquarters: Minato City, Tokyo; Chairman: Kaname Ikeda; hereinafter referred to as RESTEC) have been conducting research on urban development using satellite remote sensing technology since fiscal 2020.
We are now pleased to announce that as the first result of this research, we have released a trial version of a "volume sufficiency map" created using satellite remote sensing technology.

Satellite remote sensing, which uses sensors mounted on artificial satellites to remotely observe the Earth, is attracting attention for its ability to obtain a wide range of highly accurate data about the Earth's surface. Mitsubishi Jisho Design and RESTEC have been exploring the possibilities for future urban development, including the utilization of public spaces, using this cutting-edge spatial information technology as a "new form of data-driven urban development," and have been conducting research to realize this.
The "Floor Area Fulfillment Rate Map" we are introducing today is a visualization service for a wide range of existing building information that can be used as basic data for land use and urban development. Through further development and widespread use of this system, we aim to open up new possibilities in land use and urban development.

The efforts of the two companies and the use of satellite remote sensing technology

Satellite remote sensing technology uses sensors mounted on artificial satellites to observe electromagnetic waves emitted and reflected by oceans, forests, cities, clouds, and other parts of the Earth, obtaining a variety of spatial information about the earth's surface. In urban environments, it is possible to obtain and analyze a wide range of data, including land cover, surface temperature, and elevation, greatly expanding the possibilities for use. Through collaboration between Mitsubishi Jisho Design, which is engaged in the "Urban Development DX Project," and RESTEC, which possesses cutting-edge remote sensing technology, the aim is to provide consistent consulting from development site surveys to area management, while flexibly responding to changes in the environment surrounding cities.

Company Profile

■ Mitsubishi Jisho Design Inc.

Digital tree register
We developed a system that allows landscape gardeners to input maintenance work by inputting necessary data on trees, etc. into a map information system. Maintenance history is stored as cloud data, making it paperless, eliminating the need for personal management, and enabling objective and efficient maintenance and data management.
TOKYO OASIS
In July 2020, we developed and released "TOKYO OASIS," a web service that visualizes and simulates environmental data and disseminates information on comfortable spaces, in collaboration with the Ecozzeria Association (Otemachi-Yuraku Environmental Urban Development Promotion Association, a general incorporated association). https://tokyooasis.com

AW3D Service
This service was developed and sold jointly with NTT Data Corporation. Since its launch in 2014, it has been used in a wide range of fields, from map development, disaster prevention, resource development, urban development, and infrastructure development to cutting-edge areas such as 5G mobile phone development and autonomous driving. It has been adopted in 3,500 projects in 130 countries around the world (as of October 2024). https://www.restec.or.jp/solution/aw3d.html
Forest Monitoring
We provide comprehensive forest monitoring and consulting services that combine satellite data and other remote sensing data. Our services range from identifying deforested areas in the Amazon to forest health checks (NDVI analysis, tree species identification, etc.), supporting private foundations with tree planting, and estimating forest resource volumes.
