SPOTLIGHT: Hurricane Harvey Flooding Satellite Image of Kingwood, TX
WorldView-2 satellite image (0.5m) showing before and after photo of the devastating floods from Hurricane Harvey in and around Houston, Texas area. The hurricane made landfall as a category 4 pounding the Texas coastline and delivered continuous heavy rain and flooding in many neighborhoods, the worst flooding in Texas history. Many have come together to assist and rescue citizens and the community during this difficult time and we want to thank the Houston community and the citizens from many other states for their continuous efforts for the support and help for those that are in time of need.

MORE IMAGERY: 3D Terrain Video Yongbyon Nuclear Site, North Korea
3D terrain visualization movie of the Yongbyon nuclear site in North Korea. The creation of the 3D flythrough movie was made possible with the use of stereo IKONOS satellite image data and a 2m DEM extracted from the image data. View 3D terrain flythrough gallery.
Oil and Gas
With over four decades of experience, we use our unique understanding of the oil industry to help you assess risk and reduce expenses. By utilizing old and current multispectral satellite image data, spectral analysis and sub-pixel classification, old well locations can be recovered and coordinates adjusted to improve the geophysical and geological interpretation "before" additional wells are drilled in the same area. This increases the success ration considerable, especially when some of the old well locations have coordinate problems in excess of 1 km. Specialty services include recovery and coordinate adjustments of old wells, as well as seismic surveys in heavy jungle and desert terrain.
Mining
Multispectral imaging (VNIR), WorldView-3 Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) and thematic mineral mapping allows researchers to collect reflectance data and absorption properties of soils, rock, and vegetation. By leveraging wavelengths and spectral reflectance data, spectral signatures, invisible to the human eye, can be established for mineral traces located on the surface. Our satellite imaging technology can yield unrivaled insight as to the composition of earth surfaces, greatly aiding geologists, scientists and researchers. This data could be utilized by trained photo geologists to interpret surface lithology's, identify clays, oxides, soil types and identify potential locations of minerals, from high and medium resolution satellite imagery.
Geographic Information Systems
Satellite Imaging Corporation (SIC) has developed comprehensive policy and procedures to include QA and QC in the planning stage of every project involving the use of remote sensing data for GIS mapping. Using our extensive array of advanced satellite sensors, we can provide you with data and imagery of unparalleled quality and geospatial accuracy to support your 2D or 3D GIS map applications such as precision agriculture mapping. One of the primary services provided by SIC during the implementation of a GIS project is the georeferencing of various data layers to one common mapping projection of choice.
