Combining satellite imagery and terrain elevation databases from high resolution satellite images can create stunning true-color 3D terrain visualizations of any location on Earth for flight training, battlefield management, mission rehearsal, research, gaming and other activities which provide vital information for aerial mission planners and command information systems.

Satellite Imaging Corporation offers satellite imaging acquisition from various commercial satellite sensors providing different resolutions including:

Satellite Sensor Resolution at Nadir

GeoEye-1, 0.5m/2.0m

Worldview-2, 0.5m/2.0m

Pleiades-1A, 0.5m/2.0m

Pleiades-1B, 0.5m/2.0m

QuickBird, 0.6m/2.4m

IKONOS, 0.8m/3.2m

SPOT-5, 2.5m/10m

SPOT-6, 1.5m/8.0m

SIC provides orthorectified satellite images and aerial photography which can be processed for visualization of terrain conditions in 3 Dimensions (3D) or Digital Elevation Model (DEM). DEMs generated from high resolution satellite image data can be used to correct for relief displacement effects which are an important factor for accurate registration.
