Advanced Processing of Satellite Imagery

Satellite imagery is often combined with complimentary data sources to synergize new understanding and awareness of the Earth's resources. Three dimensional perspective views can be generated by draping two dimensional imagery over digital terrain models. Differnet spatial and spectral resolutions can be merged to enhance land-cover and feature identification. Imagery from different dates can be combined for change detection analysis, and cloud cover removal. Broad area coverage can be produced by mosaicking adjacent satellite scenes together.
