Imagery Product Spec
SatVu’s very high-resolution thermal products are derived from the HotSat constellation, operating in the mid-wave thermal infrared band. Two product levels are delivered: Primary and Surface Brightness Temperature (SBT), designed to support different post-processing requirements and end-use applications.
| Imagery Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Primary | Minimally processed imagery that is radiometrically corrected while preserving the original image geometry. Optimised to provide maximum flexibility for users to apply their own corrections and calibrations. |
| Surface Brightness Temperature (SBT) | Orthorectified imagery that has been both geometrically and radiometrically corrected, optimised for immediate visual interpretation. |
More information on the Imagery products and processing levels can be found in the Imagery User Guide within the SatVu Specifications.
