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 ProductDescription
PrimaryMinimally 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.
