Monitoring (ERS Data)
Monitoring is a system for monitoring processes, assessing the situation in the environment and society. In the process, an assessment of a phenomenon, an event is given, depending on the impact of numerous factors. Elements of the monitoring system
1. Monitoring the effectiveness of the intervention.
2. Observation of changes by sectors of human activity and the environment as a whole.
3. Analysis and integration of monitoring results.
For the monitoring process, people came up with a remote sensing process. Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of the terrain, objects on it by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (usually from a satellite or aircraft, UAV). Special sensor cameras collect remote sensing images in a wide electromagnetic spectrum range, with overview and detailed characteristics, in a time series that help researchers analyze the situation on Earth.
ACCURACY
Our advanced accuracy technology ensures content from Maxar is as closely aligned as possible to a known coordinate on Earth. The average positional accuracy of our imagery is less than 5m CE90.
Spectral bands
Go beyond what’s visible to the naked eye with multispectral imagery, including short-wave infrared (SWIR). Classify vegetation health, categorize man-made and natural material, penetrate smoke, detect fire, map minerals and more
IMAGERY BASEMAPS
Visual assessment
Monitor borders, remote assets and the urban landscape, or plan future development projects.
Feature extraction
Extract roads, buildings and parcels, identify land use, and track change at local to global scale.
Map production
Produce 2D and 3D maps with a consistent, high-quality foundational image layer worldwide.
Contextual layer
Provide a visual reference in applications or context to maps with a basemap that reflects reality.
Vivid™ Imagery Basemap Layer
Vivid™ offers a suite of off-the-shelf imagery basemaps with up to 30 cm resolution and 5 m CE90 spatial accuracy. Vivid™ products are produced annually with the most current, clear imagery available. With high-quality image layers available immediately around the globe, Vivid™ is ideal for visualization, large area feature extraction, and providing context in maps and applications.
Dynamic Imagery Basemap Layer
Dynamic offers the flexibility to configure or fully customize basemap parameters to meet specific project requirements. Dynamic basemaps are produced at the time of order for the requested areas, with rapid processing ensuring delivery within weeks. Dynamic builds can also be scheduled quarterly, semiannually or annually to align with project or business needs.
SAR IMAGERY
Consistent, high resolution, all weather insights
Through a strategic constellation access agreement with Umbra, Maxar has dedicated capacity from satellites in Umbra’s synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery constellation, enabling Maxar® to directly integrate those images into Maxar’s portfolio of Earth Intelligence products. This combined offering represents the most advanced multisource geospatial intelligence solution for a wide range of defense, intelligence and commercial applications. Through this offering, customers can make critical decisions based on real-time insights from the highest resolution electro-optical and SAR data in the industry. Customers have access to ultra-high resolution (down to 25cm) SAR satellite imagery from Umbra. Maxar also leverages decades of SAR processing expertise and its 3D datasets to enhance processing of the SAR imagery, delivering even more actionable insights.
ANALYSIS-READY DATA
SET STANDARDS, HIGH CONFIDENCE
Skip straight to analysis with Maxar’s analysis-ready data (ARD). ARD is preprocessed time-series stacks of imagery that are aligned and produced at a set standard. Aligned image stacks from ARD provide increased usable content via localized metadata, more accurate feature extraction, faster processing, lower storage costs and homogenized inputs for analytic workflows.
IMAGERY ON YOUR TERMS
ARD puts the user in control. Customize your imagery selection, order only what you need and deliver imagery directly to your cloud environment. Accessing Maxar’s highest quality satellite imagery in analysis-ready format is easy with an API.
- Select imagery based on only the criteria that’s important to your business. Choose your areas of interest, eliminate cloudy images, determine your stack depth and more.
- Visualize your selected imagery stacks on an interactive html viewer.
- Review usage estimates before placing an order.
- Order only the imagery you select, relatively align pixels using Maxar's proprietary Bundle Block Adjustment (BBA), and deliver GeoTIFFs and accompanying files to your preferred cloud environment.
- Access and interact with ARD imagery using Maxar’s Python-based SDK and CLI tools.
Feature extraction
Use machine learning and artificial intelligence to extract roads, parcels and buildings as well as identify land use and vegetation at scale.
Object detection
Create a localized detection model and deploy it as new imagery is collected to determine changes in your AOI.
Change detection
Accelerate your change detection workflows with aligned and consistent time-series imagery.
