Resources

DigitalGlobe is committed not only to capturing the most accurate, highest resolution imagery, but delivering it in the widest possible formats for your application. Our integrated approach to geospatial satellite and aerial content and our leading solutions to view, integrate and retrieve earth images from the desktop, web or mobile device makes our imagery more accessible, more powerful and easier to use across all types of industries and applications.

Our geospatial content delivers increased knowledge and insight, whether it is assisting in infrastructure development and engineering, mapping remote regions of the world or assisting in emergency response to the world’s natural disasters.


Base Map Creation

DigitalGlobe’s imagery is frequently used for creating highly accurate base maps. We provide ready-to-use satellite and aerial imagery that can accessed offline, loaded directly into GIS applications, or integrated into online portals and other applications. The versatility of our imagery allows you to solve many different kinds of problems that require clear georeferenced imagery, from infrastructure management, to real estate development, to online mapping, to resource planning.

Feature Classification

DigitalGlobe’s multispectral satellite imagery provides sophisticated remote sensing users with the ability to conduct programmatic feature classification. Using spectral signatures derived from our 4 band imagery, you can classify crops in the field, monitor the effects of oil and chemical spills, assess environmental damage resulting from disasters, or target resource exploration efforts.

Change Detection

With DigitalGlobe, remote sensing users can take feature classification to the next level and apply sophisticated change detection algorithms to multiple images. Users can evaluate multiple images that have been captured over time and have the differences automatically extracted and displayed. Change detection capabilities are used across many fields, from civil government, energy and infrastructure applications, to construction, emergency planning and even environmental management. Wherever users need to quantify changes over time, our imagery provides a unique solution.

Advertising and Marketing

At DigitalGlobe, we know that imagery is fundamentally a communication tool, whether you are conducting sophisticated image processing, or presenting a wall sized picture of a city block. The real estate, retail and construction industries rely heavily on our imagery for creating advertising and marketing materials to tell a story about a property. In addition, many civil governments, trade groups and municipalities incorporate imagery as they are marketing geographical regions and tourist hot spots.
