In a 30 cm resolution image, you could determine if vehicles are pickup trucks, sedans, or convertibles, as well as their direction of travel. You’ll notice the clarity of buildings, sidewalks, trees, and roads. You can accurately measure and count the objects that most frequently change on the surface of our planet.

Explore how different types of satellite imagery, data layers, and analytics can build critical context to help you identify opportunities and make decisions with confidence.
Thousands of satellites, airplanes, helicopters, and drones collect images of our planet every day, but to determine which is best, you have to consider what you’re doing with that image.
How do you see the unseen? Advanced satellites like those in the Maxar constellation possess unique capabilities in the near-infrared and shortwave infrared ranges.
Now we’ll discuss temporal resolution, which is how often a pixel is collected.
We are talking about Positional Accuracy! It's about how close a pixel is in relation to it true, know position on Earth.
