Imagery Applications
DigitalGlobe’s high-resolution QuickBird imagery provides the capability to address a myriad of business and scientific analyses never before commercially available from a space-based imaging platform. QuickBird’s panchromatic and multispectral imagery products are currently being used in daily operations for in a wide range of applications. Some of the major applications are mentioned below.

Infrastructure Assessments:
Lines of communication, including roads, rails, airfields and port facilities are readily extracted from the imagery. Specifically, road features including alignments, lanes, centerlines, and surface are identifiable. Similarly, rail infrastructure characteristics (including gauge and capacity) are readily distinguishable, particularly given QuickBird’s measurement accuracy and resolution, which permits individual rails to become visible. The imagery provides for classification of bridges by specific type for road and rail, and determination of their capacities.

Facilities Assessments:
Both the panchromatic and multispectral imagery are very useful in conducting facility analysis, including identification of facility subcomponents by specific functionality. The imagery supports monitoring and detecting change in facilities over time.

Aviation safety:
All airfield components (runways, taxiways, Instrument Landing System, radars, lighting and surface markings) are identifiable in 60-cm imagery, as are all port components (gantry cranes, mobile gantries, conveyors, refueling equipment, fuel and grain storage facilities, individual containers and the color of those containers). Classification of all aircraft is also possible and the imagery is very useful for detecting changes like runway expansion and digging of underground facilities.

Monitoring:
A key requirement for many organizations is the ability to effectively monitor their areas of interest. The advanced attributes of QuickBird and worldwide ImageLibrary aids customers in detecting changes. Furthermore, this capability is enhanced by our ability to revisit locations in a timely manner.

Mapping:
QuickBird was specifically designed to support mapping programs and provide data that is both spatially and spectrally accurate. The data can be used to produce traditional hard copy mapping products from 1:50,000 scales up to 1:4,800 large-scale. Our imagery can also be used to support most sectors of security applications.

Industry Assessments:
Our imagery supports identification of key strategic industries such as energy, extraction and manufacturing facilities. Each of these facilities can be analyzed in great detail, providing assessments of what is being produced, the facility capacity for production and its inventory. Moreover, the multispectral imagery provides analysts with critical information on various types of raw material being used in a manufacturing process, as well as potential environmental impacts.

Forestry and Crop Analysis:
High spatial resolution multispectral data can identify not only individual tree crowns, but often the type of tree, biomass, condition, and age class.
