A note from our CEO , Bob

The recent launch and operational deployment of the WorldView-2 satellite by DigitalGlobe has remote sensing experts around the world in a state of excitement. Not only does this advanced new satellite offer extremely high resolution imagery with 50cm pixels, but the 8 bands that it collects promise greater insight into classifying and mapping the world in which we live. Besides the visible colour imagery that allows us to create natural colour backdrops to maps, the new Coastal, Yellow, Red Edge and additional Near Infrared Band will improve our ability to analyse shallow water and coastal areas, as well as natural and built form features, in ways that we never have been able to do before. Here at Geoimage, we are thrilled to be working on various test datasets from WorldView-2 to understand more about the possibilities that this new satellite can offer. Some of our recent analyses and results are presented in this flier as case studies, along with all the information that you will need to understand how imagery from WorldView-2 can benefit your organisation. Geoimage has teamed with DigitalGlobe to jointly host the Australian version of the WorldView-2 Roadshow, touring Perth, Brisbane and Sydney in March and regional centres later. This informative seminar series will introduce you to this world-class satellite, help you understand how it works and what imagery it produces, and details how it can add value to your business, be it in the mining, engineering, environmental or planning sectors. I hope you enjoy meeting our enthusiastic Geoimage staff and discussing how WorldView-2 imagery can help you make those important decisions.
