ImageConnect

Image enable your GIS with the world’s largest library of earth imagery

DigitalGlobe’s ImageConnect is a unique GIS extension that instantly brings georeferenced high resolution satellite and aerial photos into your GIS project from our online library. You can remove the overhead of integrating imagery into your projects with ImageConnect because it embeds a simple, easy to use toolbar directly into your GIS workspace — no more searching or exporting from multiple data sources.

One comprehensive source of earth imagery

Our ImageLibrary is the most comprehensive source of earth imagery, combining aerial and satellite images from our own global collection with government data from USGS, USDA, and NASA and constantly refreshing with new imagery every day.

Synchronized with your software

With ImageConnect, you connect directly to our image server through plug-ins for desktop mapping software, including ESRI (ArcGIS 8.x and 9.x), MapInfo Professional and Autodesk (Map 3D, Land Desktop, Raster Design, Civil 3D, and georeferenced AutoCAD projects). Retrieving images from ImageConnect alleviates exporting and manipulating from multiple image sources and allows you look for new images directly from your GIS solution. You can automatically save the images for further use.

Select the best view for your project

Our extensive ImageLibrary contains coverage for your area of interest that spans several dates and resolutions. Historical references for an area are valuable in detecting change for facility management or regulatory compliance. ImageConnect will show you the most recent data and you can check the library for other images which we have taken over time. We also let you pick the image size that fits your project with jpeg downloads up to 5,000 by 5,000 pixels, and load them in a wide variety of projections along with georeferencing information (worldfile).

Track and bill project usage

ImageConnect makes tracking of projects easy with its online reporting system. You can accurately view activity across different teams or departments by quickly creating job codes and tracking Individual usage. View, bill or manage use of ImageConnect in the way that you want.
