I Can't Believe It's Not Aerial: Innovations in Satellite Imagery

May 5, 2021

Advances in Earth Observation satellites and image processing technology have expanded the utility of satellite imagery, making it a viable solution for many planning and mapping needs that were once not considered feasible with satellite imagery. The many advantages of satellite imagery, along with these enhancements, provide a unique opportunity to augment aerial programs and keep up with change, anywhere from local to global scale and from urban to remote, hard-to-reach areas. In this webinar you will learn: -The latest technological advancements that increase the usability of satellite imagery, including both resolution and accuracy. -Specific areas where satellite imagery can help mapping, monitoring, and disaster response needs. -Examples of 15 cm high-definition satellite imagery for the most common applications.

An intelligent way to increase the number of pixels in an image.

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.

In a 30 cm resolution image, you could determine if vehicles are pickup trucks, sedans, or convertibles, as well as their direction of travel.

We are talking about Positional Accuracy! It's about how close a pixel is in relation to it true, know position on Earth.

Now we’ll discuss temporal resolution, which is how often a pixel is collected.

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.
