GeoEye and TerraGo Webcast : Maximizing Satellite Imagery

According to Frost & Sullivan, the commercial satellite imagery market generated $1,243 million in revenue in 2011. The firm projects that the market will grow to $2,602 million by 2016. With the growth of the market and the increased reliance on geospatial intelligence across a variety of public and private sector verticals, what tools are available to empower users, regardless of their level of geospatial training, to maximize the value of these assets?

Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Daniel Longfield, along with representatives from GeoEye and TerraGo Technologies presented a Webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 2:00 PM Eastern which explored the global commercial satellite imagery market and available technology such as GeoEye‘s cloud-based EyeQ platform and TerraGo GeoPDF imagery production.

GeoEye, DigitalGlobe Get $7 Billion from Intelligence Agency to Implement Next-Gen Satellite Imaging

The next generation of high resolution satellite imaging technology is on the way, at least if the United States government has anything to say about it. The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency has awarded satellite imaging firms GeoEye and DigitalGlobe, which provide images for Google and Microsoft among others, contracts upwards of $3.5 billion each to help them get the next wave of imaging technology into the sky. Longmont, Colo.-based DigitalGlobe was given a $3.55 billion 10-year contract, to be paid out in annual installments. Virginia-based GeoEye, whose high resolution photos have often been featured on PopSci.com, got the same terms on an even richer $3.8 billion contract. For that kind of cash, the government won’t be accepting incremental improvements.

Help Survey Genghis Khan’s Lost Tomb – GeoEye Satellite Imagery Featured in Article

National Geographic is offering up an ambitious project you can get involved in at home: surveying the Mongolian region that holds Genghis Khan’s tomb. NatGeo’s Valley of the Khans project allows armchair archaeologists to sift through commercial satellite imagery of the region—multispectral shots provided by GeoEye‘s GeoEye-1 and Ikonos satellites—and mark what they think could be ancient roads, rivers, or other anomalies. And that’s only one aspect of this high-tech effort. At the University of California in San Diego, researchers are employing a HIPerSpace (Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space) wall—seen below—to visualize huge expanses of the Mongolian region, scaling into the billions of pixels…

MapAction Utilized IKONOS for Disaster Response in Haiti – GeoEye Satellite Imagery Featured in Case Study

During August and September, 2008, a series of four tropical storms and hurricanes (Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike) caused a severe and protracted humanitarian disaster in Haiti, affecting more than 800,000 people. Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Gustav passed through the Caribbean in late August, 2008, both causing heavy rains over Haiti. With the ground saturated, rain bands from Hurricane Hanna then swirled over northern Haiti for four days, causing extensive flooding and mudslides. Badly hit was the northern city of Gonaives, which was flooded to a depth of about two metres with water and thick mud…Thankfully, GeoEye provided a one-meter high resolution IKONOS satellite image of the city and surroundings through a data grant from its Foundation. In addition, relief personnel in Gonaives were encouraged to collect and report GPS data, and MapAction organized this flow of data, producing detailed maps from the IKONOS data along with of the resources being deployed in Gonaives. These maps were then fed back to personnel on the ground and into situation reports deployed to the wider humanitarian community.
