Did you know that satellites can now measure ocean currents with an accuracy of just a few centimeters per second? Yes, it’s true! Satellite imagery for ocean currents has revolutionized how we study our vast oceans. It’s like having a bird’s eye view of the entire planet’s water circulation. This technology lets us track massive… Continue reading Mapping the Deep: Using Satellite Imagery to Study Ocean Currents and Climate
Imagine a farmer in Kenya struggling with unpredictable weather patterns. With one glance at satellite imagery, he gains insights into his fields—areas that need water, soil that lacks nutrients, and where pests may strike next. This isn’t science fiction, it’s happening today. High-resolution satellite imagery has become a cornerstone in many industries. It offers real-time,… Continue reading Top 9 Industries Transformed by High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
The demand to view real-time or recently captured images of a specific place, for instance, private properties is surging. Being that the current state of GIS and remote sensing technology makes it very easy to get a sat view of your property, people will not be able to use it appropriately without knowledge about the… Continue reading How to Get a Current Satellite View of My Property?
Stereoscopic imagery is the method for enhancing an illusion of three-dimensional (3D) vision by displaying two slightly offset images separately to each eye. This duplicates the binocular vision of humans allowing one to observe depth and spatial relationships. Stereoscopic imagery is used in many applications within GIS such as photogrammetry, topographic mapping and environmental modeling.… Continue reading Stereoscopic Imagery
Satellite communication involves the transmission of signals from an Earth-based transmitter to a satellite and back to a receiver on Earth. This process is enabled by a network of artificial satellites that orbit the Earth, relaying signals across vast distances. The primary components of a satellite communication system include the satellite, ground stations, and the… Continue reading What Is Satellite Communication?
In the field of Geographic Information Systems, satellite imagery has emerged as a vital tool, providing a multitude of data for a wide range of applications starting from urban planning to environmental monitoring where the visible or non-visual data that Earth observation satellites collect while orbiting the Earth is referred to as satellite imagery and… Continue reading Types of Satellite Imagery
