When your organisation’s business decisions require you to identify small features on the ground, an improved visual experience is key. The identification of objects such as road lines, individual plants, building edges and vehicles often requires the highest level of visual clarity. True 30 cm resolution imagery has long been the industry leader in clarity. Now with innovative proprietary technology applied to native 30 cm data, 15 cm HD imagery provides the next level of detail – enhancing manual and automated feature extraction efforts from satellite imagery. Not limited to any certain resolution, HD technology can also be applied to native 40-60 cm imagery, rendering a 30 cm HD image and thus, increasing the availability of 30 cm resolution imagery across the historical archive. VISUAL CLARITY Easier to interpret images, allowing you to find critical information ACCURATE FEATURE IDENTIFICATION Increased level of detail available to accurately identify features RAPID DECISION MAKING Faster interpretation driving rapid confident mission decisions www.euspaceimaging.com | Arnulfstrasse 199, 80634 Munich, Germany | T: +49 89 130 1420 DATA SHEET 15 cm HD Key Features and Benefits Reduced pixelation Improved automated feature extraction Increases the 30 cm inventory Reveal small details and/or features that could only previously see with aerial imagery Extensive road mapping applications Specifications PRODUCT LEVEL HD View Ready (OR2A) & Map Ready (Ortho) IMAGE BANDS PAN & Multispectral CLOUD COVER <3% target; <20% allowed POINTING ACCURACY 5 m CE90 ABSOLUTE ACCURACY <4.2 m CE90 OFF-NADIR ANGLE <30 degrees SUN ELEVATION >30 degrees (some areas at >15 degrees) BIT DEPTH 8 & 16 bit PROJECTION/DATUM UTM/WGS84 Barcelona, Spain – 15 cm HD What is HD? HD Technology is a proprietary technique owned by European Space Imaging partner, Maxar, that improves the visual clarity of an image The image that results f rom application of the technique is aesthetically refined with precise edges and well reconstructed details What is it not? HD Technology does not increase resolution Images produced by HD Technology have more pixels than were collected (reducing apparent pixelation), but the collected Ground Sample Distance (which is equivalent to “resolution”) does not change If an object is not present in the original image, HD Technology will not make it appear How does it work? HD Technology intelligently increases the number of pixels in an image in such a way that maximizes useful information and minimizes unnecessary noise and visible pixelation The technique relies on targeting specific types of information in the source image and using it to discern details that may be obscure or difficult to detect Barcelona, Spain – 30 cm GSD About European Space Imaging Based in Munich, Germany and established in 2002, European Space Imaging is the leading premium supplier of global very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery and derived services to customers in Europe and North Africa.
