What Is Tasking?
Tasking is the act of “ordering” new satellite imagery from a specific satellite. To task a satellite, coordinates of an area of interest (AOI), time frame and interval are sent to the satellite provider.
What Is Remote Sensing?
In simple terms, remote sensing is the act of detecting objects in an area and measuring their movements from space.
What Is Latency?
For satellite data, latency refers to the time between satellite observation and the time data is available to users.
What Is Temporal Resolution?
Temporal resolution, also known as re-visit rates, vary from different providers. Temporal resolution provides information on the time difference between the acquisitions of two images over the same area.
What Is Spectral Resolution?
Spectral resolution is the ability of a satellite sensor to detect distinct ranges of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What Is Spatial Resolution?
Resolution refers to the spatial resolution a data product has. Spatial resolution can be defined as the amount of data on the ground a single image pixel represents.
What Is Very High Resolution?
Very high resolution (VHR) refers to the spatial resolution size of a satellite image. In simple terms, the resolution type will determine the clarity of your optical image.
What Is High Resolution?
High resolution refers to the spatial resolution size of a satellite image. In simple terms, the resolution type will determine the clarity of your optical image.
What Is Medium Resolution?
Medium resolution refers to the spatial resolution size of a satellite image. In simple terms, the resolution type will determine the clarity of your optical image.
What Is Low Resolution?
Low resolution refers to the spatial resolution size of a satellite image. In simple terms, the resolution type will determine the clarity of your optical image.
