Space Imaging Introduces Standard Ortho Satellite Imagery Product Line
Standard Ortho Provides Mapping Quality Imagery at a Value
Space Imaging, the world’s leading
provider of Earth imagery and related services to commercial and government
markets, has released its new IKONOS Standard Ortho product line derived from
its IKONOS satellite. Standard Ortho is a cost-effective mapping product that
can be produced and delivered quickly. Designed for GIS professionals
performing basic mapping projects or image classification and analysis,
Standard Ortho is ortho-corrected with a horizontal accuracy of 50 meters
(CE90) and obtains a 1:100,000 NMAS. As with all IKONOS imagery products, it
is available in 1-meter, 4-meter or 1- and 4-meter bundles, with options of
black-and-white, color or multispectral. Prices start at $22 per square
kilometer.
“Our standard mapping and visualization customers now have another cost-
effective option to purchase this value-priced orthorectified product instead
of costlier data that may exceed their basic project needs,” said Gene
Colabatistto, president of Space Imaging, Solutions. “IKONOS leads the market
in quality and positional accuracy, and this product includes these superior
qualities of IKONOS while affording customers more value. Standard Ortho is
the most consistently accurate product of its type available in the market
today.”
Standard Ortho is also available with the same geographic and radiometric
options as other IKONOS data products and can be quickly delivered. To
produce Standard Ortho, Space Imaging’s orthorectifying process utilizes an
enhanced version of the most accurate, publicly available, global Digital
Elevation Model (DEM). This results in the ability to rapidly produce and
deliver a consistent product to the end user. Since Standard Ortho is
orthorectified, it is ready for immediate use in mapping projects, further
reducing valuable project time.
