QuickBird
The QuickBird satellite offers highly accurate, commercial high-resolution imagery of Earth. QuickBird’s global collection of high resolution panchromatic and multispectral imagery is designed to support applications ranging from map publishing to land and asset management to insurance risk assessment.
Its large swath width, combined with ample on-board storage, and geolocational accuracy allow it to efficiently and accurately image large areas of the globe. The QuickBird spacecraft is capable of acquiring over 75 million square kilometers of imagery data annually (over three times the size of North America), and allows us to populate and DigitalGlobe's ImageLibrary at unprecedented speed.
For more information download the QuickBird datasheet.
Free Sample CD
European Space Imaging together with DigitalGlobe created a Sample Imagery CD. The CD contains large Sample Imagery as well as a WorldView-2 8 band multispectral demo.
