High Resolution Satellite Imagery

High Resolution Satellite Imagery

Satellites have emerged as a leading solution due to significant developments in resolution and coverage in recent years, and they offer a wide range of features that make them an excellent alternative for obtaining data and information from remote or inaccessible regions. With rapid tasking and no mobilisation or boots on ground, it is a fantastic way to capture key information for your project.

Advantages of satellite imagery

Global coverage

Satellites provide global coverage, allowing the capture of remote and inaccessible areas, as well as regions that are difficult to access by other methods.

Reduced operational costs

Satellites need minimal on-site logistics and involvement, while drones and aerial surveys involve more complexity and cost.

Cost-effective for large areas

Satellite imagery can be more cost-effective when it comes to covering large geographical areas. Drones or aircraft over large areas can be expensive and time-consuming, whereas satellite data can cover vast regions in a single pass.

Consistency and reliability

Satellites can capture imagery at regular intervals, providing a consistent and repeatable data source allowing for long-term monitoring and trend analysis.

Spectral bands

The availability of multiple spectral bands, including 8, 16, and soon Hyperspectral options, along with 4 bands for 15cm HD resolution!

Historical archive

Satellite imagery offers valuable historical insights for tracking and analysing long-term environmental, mining, and infrastructural changes.

Compare high-resolution satellite imagery with aerial imagery

Advancements in satellite imagery technology have reached an impressive 15cm resolution, which rivals the sharpness of aerial and drone imagery while also being more cost-effective.
