Using very high-resolution satellite imagery to calculate volumes of land features, open cast mine depth, heaps of extracted or stockpiled materials, or other three-dimensional objects, delivers unique insights from space about critical points in global supply chains, particularly for decision-makers in commodity markets.
High-resolution video Cubesat imagers can track moving objects and differentiate by type, vector, and speed of the identified object. This level of information can provide instantaneous situational awareness.
Another feature when using snapshot imaging is creating stereo pairs of objects, like large buildings or other environmental structures. These stereo pairs are transformed into 3D digital models to extract digital elevation models and land contours. This level of information is advantageous during a crisis, when planning new activities or when you need to understand the current situation in your city.
RGB or video cubesat imagers can’t always deliver the level of intelligence required on their own. Therefore, a combination of monitoring capabilities is required. In this case, one needs to fuse video and RGB Cubesat imager data with other data sets. From this, one can start distinguishing our typical pattern of life from abnormal events or start predicting hazardous events.
