DATA PRODUCTS
GEOEYE PRODUCTS
GeoProduct:

For those who want satellite imagery for visual and interpretive

applications that are geometrically accurate and cost effective. This is a radiometrically
corrected map oriented image and is shipped with the sensor camera model in rational
polynomial coefficient (RPC) format. Geo product needs to be processed with RPCs to be
geometrically accurate on a flat plane. Typical applications include environmental monitoring,
image interpretation, disaster response etc.

GeoProfessional:

products are orthorectified (terrain corrected products). Perfect for

anyone demanding greater image positional accuracy.
These products are suitable for feature extraction, change detection, base mapping and other
similar applications.

GeoStereo:

For those requiring images that deliver 3-dimensional viewing and feature
recognition. This product provides two images with stereo geometry to support a wide range
of stereo imagery applications such as DEM creation, building height extraction, and creating
various spatial layers.

DATA PRODUCTS
DIGITAL GLOBE PRODUCTS
Basic:

Imagery products are designed for users having advanced image processing
capabilities. It is the least processed image product and comes with the camera model
information for sophisticated users to perform processing services such as
orthorectification, 3D feature extraction etc.

Standard:

Imagery products are the most flexible and are suited for visual analysis
image classification, as a backdrop for GIS and mapping applications that require a modest
level of accuracy and as the basis for doing your own orthorectification.

StereoImagery:

These products are designed for users with advanced image

processing capabilities and photogrammetric tools. This product is ideal for Digital Elevation
Model (DEM) generation, 3D visualization and feature extraction applications.

CLIENT BASE: GLOBAL

APPLICATIONS:
Mining & Exploration: High resolution images can be acquired in mountainous,
remote regions and can be used to plan property exploration and map
geological information and analyze surface features.
Forestry: High resolution imagery can provide accurate mapping of logging
roads, and detailed inventory of harvested areas and burns.
Agriculture: Remote sensing data is valuable in crop prediction models and the
visible and infrared imagery allows for health and productivity analysis.
Oil & Gas: Oil spill mapping, oil seep exploration, facility management.
Environmental Mapping: High resolution imagery is used to map and monitor
environmental change, thereby help manage natural resources.
Vis Sim: Multi-Res ortho imagery for flight simulators.
