The imagery your project needs
The information requirements define the data source. We procure satellite imagery from various sensors such as Pleiades, SkySat, TripleSat Constellation, KOMPSAT-2-3-3A, SPOT 6/7, Sentinel 1-2, and Landsat.
Cost structure
The following table is an example of our cost structure for Pléiades and SPOT satellite imagery.
Satellite sensor | Hectare
Pléiades (50 cm)
High-resolution multi-spectral satellite imagery for detailed forest mapping.
SPOT 6 / 7 (1.5 m)
Cost efficient high-resolution multi-spectral satellite imagery for forest classification mapping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every case requires an understanding of the information requirements. For some cases open data sets such as Landsat, Sentinel, etc. are sufficient. For other cases, it is required to obtain high-resolution commercial data sets.
If satellite imagery from the archive is procured the process takes 1 - 3 days. For the case of targeting new satellite imagery, this can take a few days up to a few weeks, as for some regions it is difficult to procure cloud-free imagery.
Satellite imagery is usually provided as GeoTiff or GeoJPG.
