Very High Resolution satellite images offer a unique view of what lays in, on and around urban and rural settlements. It provides a cost-effective and simple method of monitoring wide areas both locally and globally, as opposed to using in situ data, and is an indispensable tool for managing the actions and events that impact urbanisation leading to urban sprawl.

From Urban To Rural: Enabling Sustainable Urban Planning and Development Using Satellite Imagery
The definitive guide to acquiring and using satellite imagery in the urban planning industry.
DETAILED ANALYSIS
Very high resolution satellite imagery is clear enough to show road lines, sidewalks, vehicles, small structures and even people. This allows for precise analytics for city development. It is ideal for:
- Studying Traffic Patterns
- Crowd Management
- Small Feature Identification
- Verifying Property Lines
- Mapping Road Features
- Walkability Analysis
MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
We offer more spectral diversity and better spatial resolution than any other satellite imagery provider – allowing you to see more of what is actually happening in your city. Multispectral imagery can assist in identifying building materials, separating organic and synthetic surfaces, analysing plant health and much more.
This has endless applications including environmental impact studies, compliance reporting and impervious surface calculations.
Ecopia GFX
By European Space Imaging
Ecopia Global Feature Extraction (GFX) Powered by European Space Imaging is a unique partnership that utilises the freshest, highest quality satellite imagery along with the most advanced artificial intelligence from Ecopia.AI (Ecopia) to offer accurate geospatial feature extraction at continent-wide scale. The product comes with up to 12 core features eligible for extraction, so users can receive comprehensive land cover maps with zero in-house GIS work.
The resulting vector maps are delivered as easy-to-use shapefiles, enabling users to focus on necessary analytics rather than time consuming map making.
City Morphology
Large-scale monitoring with VHR satellite imagery provides valuable information about the morphology of a city. Understanding the patterns of new construction and traffic in a rapidly growing municipality provides insights into new infrastructure requirements.
Mapping and GIS activities are greatly enhanced with the use of VHR multispectral and stereo satellite imagery.

Maxar WorldView Legion Satellites: The Successful Launch & Its Impact on EO Applications in Europe
WorldView Legion satellites collect at 30 cm-class resolution, offer 8 spectral bands (some of which are different from WorldView-3), and increase Maxar’s imaging capacity to 6.6 million km2 a day. What are the specifications of the imagery? What technical innovations make the satellites smaller yet as powerful as their predecessors? And how does their unprecedented revisit rate transform critical sectors like defence and disaster response? Learn about the technical parameters and real-world applications of Maxar WorldView Legion in this article.
Synchronised Collections of SAR and VHR Optical Satellite Imagery Revolutionise Flood Management
As climate change accelerates, the frequency and severity of flooding events are becoming increasingly alarming. In response, innovative tools like DoubleShot, developed by European Space Imaging in partnership with Umbra, are transforming flood management strategies. By combining the power of Very High Resolution (VHR) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical satellite imagery, DoubleShot delivers a comprehensive, weather-independent solution for near real-time flood mapping and monitoring.
EUSI Will Soon Offer Intraday Monitoring Across Europe After Maxar’s Second Successful Launch of WorldView Legion Satellites
With the successful launch of Maxar Intelligence’s second set of WorldView Legion satellites, European Space Imaging (EUSI) will soon offer up to eight daily collection opportunities in key latitudes across Europe and North Africa – a number that will increase after the final WorldView Legion satellites are launched and all six satellites are operational.
