Uncover our world in all spectral bands

Optical satellite imaging is not just about looking at a picture – it’s about producing answers using the building blocks of light.

Optical imaging has been one of the first use cases for satellites. To this day, satellite imagery underpins critical sectors like agriculture, forestry, defense and logistics.

We offer a rich portfolio of sub-meter resolution optical imagery for every project that needs a crisp view of our planet.

Our diverse portfolio of optical imagery includes a full variety of sub-meter resolutions (0.15, 0.25, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.70 and 0.80 meters), panchromatic and multispectral sensing, daily revisit capabilities and stereo/tri-stereo imaging.

In addition, we offer real-time readout services for National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) polar-orbiting satellites, including Suomi NPP, NOAA 20 and NOAA 21.

sub-meter imaging for clear answers

Commercial very high resolution imagery enables applications that are beyond the capacity of low-resolution open data.

Sub-meter imagery makes it possible to develop and deploy qualitatively superior applications: more precise object counting, more granular change detection, pattern recognition for much smaller objects, and many others.

Agriculture

Agricultural plot analysis has been one of the first use cases of multispectral optical imagery.

Combinations of red, green, blue and infrared bands can be used to extract soil moisture and vegetation indices (NDMI, NDVI, EVI and others) that provide actionable insights into the health of crops and the general state of farmland at scale.

At high resolution, these analyses can be used to estimate yields and crop health.

Urban development

About half of Earth’s population lives in cities, and this number is set to increase to 70% by 2050.

Urban spaces are increasingly becoming the primary environment of humans, and their rational planning and development will be the key to wellbeing.

High-resolution imagery allows precise snapshots of traffic, urban activities, the state of green areas, and construction sites, often with a single satellite pass.

Commercial activity

Accumulation of vehicles and materials is often indicative of commercial activity. Monitoring the frequency of these accumulations can be valuable for business intelligence in a number of industries.

Counting vehicles at parking lots, vessels, containers and other items is also becoming a central case for image recognition models, which are used to comb through high-resolution imagery and generate precise unit numbers.
