Updating SPOT 6 and SPOT-5 Satellite Mosaics of Russia

  • Rating12345

Experts of ScanEx RDC are continuously working on updating and expansion of satellite mosaic coverages of the territory of Russia. Today, mosaics are made covering the territory of more than 2 million square kilometers of the central and southern parts of European Russia based on SPOT 5 satellite images.

In 2013, mosaics on Nizhny Novgorod, Pskov, Penza regions, the Republic of Chuvashia, Udmurtia, Mordovia, Mari El, Chechnya and Dagestan were prepared. Work is underway to create mosaics on the Kirov, Novgorod regions and the Republic of North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia. One may take a look at the updated outline of SPOT 5 mosaics at the “Express.Kosmosnimki” service.

Mosaic SPOT 5 coverages are colored seamless ortho-rectified (with corrected terrain distortions) and color-balanced images with a spatial resolution of 2.5 m. The geometric basis for their creation are ortho-rectified very-high resolution data from the GeoEye-1 satellite: the geolocation accuracy meets the requirements for creating topographic maps of 1: 10,000 scale.

For the first time specialists of ScanEx RDC started to work on generating mosaics based on SPOT 6 data. The mosaics are colored seamless ortho-rectified color-balanced images with a spatial resolution of 1.5 meters. Currently, mosaic coverages are already generated on the New Moscow area and the Moscow Region based on data collected in May this year.

To assess the quality of satellite coverages ScanEx RDC offers its users a mosaic of SPOT 6 of Moscow and Moscow Region for the price of satellite images up to the end of 2013.

Per user request specialists of ScanEx RDC can prepare mosaics on any area of interest.
