Demonstration products generated by the RapidEye system are being made public for the first. The samples of the RapidEye Standard Image Products show an area over Griffith in New South Wales, Australia.
The sample datasets are available for download as a RapidEye Ortho Product (level 3A) and RapidEye Basic Product (level 1B).
The RapidEye Ortho Product (level 3A) offers the highest level of processing available for the RapidEye Standard Image Products. These images have not only been radiometrically corrected, but also have been orthorectified using Ground Control Points and a DTED level 1 SRTM DEM (digital elevation model) or better.
The RapidEye Basic Product (level 1B) has radiometric and sensor corrections applied to the data. The sample datasets include a metadata file, giving the user information about the image such as the acquisition date and time, file format, product level and locational coordinates. The datasets can be downloaded instantly as a zip-file from the RapidEye website www.rapideye.de/demo-products.
In addition to having demonstration products available, RapidEye is continuously updating their image gallery. To see the newest images coming from the RapidEye constellation of five Earth observation satellites of Italy, Chile, China and more, visit www.rapideye.de/home/gallery.
