IKONOS
Spatial Mapping Ltd. uses IKONOS imagery to produce panchromatic
images that are radiometrically corrected, geometrically corrected,
and orthorectified. Panchromatic and multispectral images are available
in easy-to-use 8-bit formats or wide dynamic range 11-bit formats.
Applications include base mapping, map revision, GIS update, planning,
site selection and development.
IKONOS imagery is offered in 1-meter resolution panchromatic, 4-meter
resolution multispectral products and in 1m & 4m bundles.
Examples of IKONOS imagery:
One-meter resolution image of the Bushehr
Reactor, Iran.
One-meter resolution image of Venice,
Italy.
Hainan
Island in the South China Sea. A US Navy plane made an emergency
landing there after a mid-air collision with a Chinese fighter.
The navy aircraft is clearly visible and parked on the taxiway adjacent
to the north end of the runway (north is up).
This one-meter resolution satellite image of Manhattan,
New York was collected at 11:43 a.m. EDT on Sept. 12, 2001 by
Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite. The image shows an area of white
dust and smoke at the location where the 1,350-foot towers of the
World Trade Center once stood.
