As sensor technology continually improves, new satellites are launched and older satellites are retired, users are faced with adding new sources, often at very different resolutions, spatial coverage and acquisition time. This creates a number of challenges including:
- Incompatibility between a large image archive and new sources of imagery.
- Archived Image data may become obsolete due to these incompatibilities.
- A new single source of imagery no longer meets the spatial, temporal
and spectral resolutions needed, requiring multiple sources working
together.
- New data sources cannot be easily related to each other and cannot be used in the same application.
- You don't have the technology to blend these multiple sources together and retain the accuracy you require.
GDA's surface reflectance image preprocessing service provides the solution!
Once calibrated to surface reflectance all imagery, regardless of the source*, is compatible; allowing for usage in a single application, providing you the flexibility you need to meet your spatial, temporal and spectral resolution requirements and returning the value stored in your image archive.
GDA's surface reflectance preprocessing service is based on a fully automated algorithm developed by GDA, allowing us to solve your problems in hours, not weeks or months. This also allows GDA to offer cost effective large volume processing, providing you a means of quickly returning the value of your image archive and gaining immediate ROI.
*Imagery must share common bands to achieve compatibility.
