Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Showcased

GeoEye - This half-meter resolution image of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa was collected by the GeoEye-1 satellite on July 7, 2009. The image features Victoria Falls, one of the seven "Natural Wonders of the World," and part of Victoria Falls National Park, which covers 23 square kilometers (5,683 acres). Since the construction of the Victoria Falls Bridge in 1905, the falls have become Africa's number one geographic and tourist attraction. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (Smoke That Thunders), the Falls originate from the 1.61-kilometer (one-mile) wide Zambezi River in western Zimbabwe.

Some Question Reopening Hatteras to Visitors - GeoEye Imagery Collection Featured on CBS News

Raleigh, N.C. — For Dare County officials wrestling with the question of whether to reopen at least part of Irene-damaged Hatteras Island, the answer was obvious: the electricity was running and stores were stocked with supplies. And, most importantly, people needed the work that tourists would bring...


This file combination of two satellite images provided by GeoEye shows, above, an area of Hatteras Island, N.C., which includes a view of Highway 12 through the center of the frame, taken on Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011, after Hurricane Irene hit the Island on Aug. 27, and, below, the same area of Hatteras Island taken on June 12, 2011, before the island was cut off from the mainland after Hurricane Irene tore up several segments of Highway 12. Even some groups dependent on tourism are questioning Dare County?s decision to open part of Irene-damaged Hatteras Island to visitors less than three weeks after the hurricane struck, cutting off the only road access to the island. Both the Dare County Tourism Board and the Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce say it was too early to open the four southernmost villages on Sept. 17 because so few tourists could get to the island via two ferries.

Internet Mapping - GeoEye Imagery Collection Showcased

Access to geospatial data over the Internet has grown rapidly over the last five years. This has spawned a cottage industry of geospatial mash-ups targeted at niche markets. Geospatial mashup developers create applications from scratch that display various sources of geospatial data accessible over the internet. The developers aggregate the data and perform analysis and present the information in an easy-to-digest format targeted at specific end users. Typically these mashups leverage API's and are viewed in Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth and Yahoo! Maps. These applications allow the end user to publish their data to various destinations, including local networks or web servers.


GeoEye imagery products provide highly accurate base maps that geospatial mashup developers can use to aggregate with other data and perform analysis on.

Imagery Offerings - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Showcased

The GeoEye imagery line of products is categorized according to resolution and positional accuracy:


Geo™ is a radiometrically corrected (for atmospheric and other types of visual "noise"), map-oriented image suitable for a wide range of applications. Ground coordinates are mapped with image coordinates, so that skilled users can work with Geo images using standard commercial software products and data sets.


GeoProfessional™ products are orthorectified (terrain corrected) by GeoEye. Our proprietary processes enable us to quickly deliver the most accurate and precise orthorectified multispectral products available from a satellite platform.


GeoStereo™ products provide two images with stereo geometry, providing a strong base for three-dimensional feature recognition, extraction and exploitation. This is how digital elevation models (DEMs) are created.


GeoEye also offers imagery-derived products like DEMs, digital surface models (DSMs), large-area mosaics and feature maps.

GeoEye High Resolution Imagery in Google Earth - Burning Man 2011: Rites of Passage

GeoEye - This image features Burning Man, an annual event held in the Black Rock Desert on a dry lakebed, or playa, in northern Nevada. In 2010, over 51,000 people congregated at this location. 2011 attendance was capped at 50,000 participants and the event sold out on July 24. In the Google Earth base imagery, the satellite image of the Burning Man Festival from 2009 is clearly visible. Noteworthy about the event is one of ten Burning Man governing principles: "Leave No Trace." At the end of each Burning Man Festival, the playa is returned to its pristine condition by all that attend. Turn on the GeoEye-1 image and one instantly sees the 2011 Black Rock City spring to life once again, just in a new decade. This year's theme: Rites of Passage.
