Over 3 Million sq km of India Captured

  25/05/2010
RapidEye has captured 95% of India (over 3 million square kilometres) in its satellite imagery library. Much of the country has been collected cloud-free, with the remainder containing less than 10% cloud cover. The image campaign began in January, however the majority of the imagery was collected within a period of about eight weeks.

"Having virtually the entire country of India available is another testimonial to how quickly our system can cover large contiguous areas," commented Wolfgang G. Biedermann, CEO of RapidEye. "With the announcement that we had collected our one billionth square kilometreof imagery last month, we can quite confidently say that that the majority of our customers can find their area of interest either through our library or the RapidEye Geodata Kiosk."

 

The RapidEye system also has successfully completed full coverage campaigns over the United States, Mexico, central Europe, China, Indochina and South Africa. Each of these countries and many more million square kilometres of Earth are available in the RapidEye Library which currently contains over one billion square kilometres of RapidEye data products.

 

RapidEye images the Earth in unparalleled quantities and will continue to make its satellite imagery available through its library, which can be searched either through a local distributor or directly through its Customer Service department.

I pointed at the river in de image, but this is running for a big part outside India. I now made a more general India marker. Joost Boers - 27/05/2010 - 09:09


The map on the side of this article pointing to the location of the relevant article is incorrectly marked on Bangladesh instead of India. Megha Datta - 25/05/2010 - 14:04

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
