    • Data:

    From Matt: I mentioned at the SDMG meeting this morning that a new satellite had been launched for high-res imagery. It comes from DigitalGlobe, which is the same company that provided the GeoEye launch just over a year ago (Patti, you were right!). The new sensor is called WorldView-2 and it has eight-band multispectral imagery at 1.8m (including two near-IR bands) and a panchromatic band at 0.46m. See more info (and first images) here:

  • NITF file format: .NTF files (DOD) (believe Patti talked about this)

    Round table:

  • notetaker had to leave, so I don't have any notes.
