East View Cartographic Satellite Imagery from ALOS
07 October 2008, 5:11pm
East View Cartographic has entered into a long-term partnership with RESTEC (Remote Sensing Technology Center of Japan), the commercial distribution arm of JAXA, to offer exceptionally high quality, cost-effecitve, precision ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite) imagery for your most exacting geospatial needs.
About ALOS
ALOS was launched in January 2006 from Japan and is equipped with three sensors:
Panchromatic Remote-Sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) is an optical sensor for observing visible terrain areas with a 2.5-meter spatial resolution. It has three independent optical systems to acquire terrain data including altitude data so that images for nadir, forward, and backward views can be acquired at the same time. This allows for three-dimensional terrain data with a high accuracy and frequency.
Images obtained from the PRISM sensor are ideally suited for a broad range of geospatial applications:
* Orthophoto generation
* Change-detection
* Map production/revision
In addition, stereo and triplet imagery collected by the PRISM sensor can be utilized to generate high-resolution Digital Surface Models with a recommended grid spacing from 10m to 30m.
