The quality of satellite imagery is improving year by year, to the point where it is now possible to read signage and see line markings clearly. Not only has there been an improvement in visual resolution now satellites like WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 are delivering imagery in 8 spectral bands, more than the eye can see. To take advantage of these developments European Space Imaging is offering the High-Res Urban Challenge as part of this yearâs Copernicus Masters focused on European Large Urban zones. Participants could potentially win a valuable data package of satellite imagery worth 20,000 Euro. This yearâs Challenge is looking for innovators who want to use satellite imagery in their ground-breaking product or solution. To help creators test and prove their ideas a sample data package of almost cloud-free, 40 cm, 8-band, WorldView-2 imagery is available for registered participants. www.euspaceimaging.com
