Medium Resolution Images

At EOS, we know that medium resolution images are ideal for covering large areas such as countries, continents or even the entire globe! While there is no text-book definition of “medium-resolution” satellite imagery, this typically means resolution less than 1m, offering many options of use.

Medium resolution photos were originally provided on a scene basis, however newer medium resolution satellites such as SPOT 6/7 and RapidEye now support custom Areas of Interest with per km2 pricing.

With the exception of WorldView-2 and WorldView-3, medium resolution satellites usually provide extra multi-spectral bands, which make them ideal for image analysis and classification. The large collection swath widths enable them to collect larger areas in a short amount of time, offering a better temporal selection.
