Satellite imagery is a critical tool for visualizing ground conditions. Whether you need a foundational map for an app or a comprehensive dataset for business intelligence,7SI has a strategic partnership with the worlds leader in satellite imagery. With the most sophisticated commercial satellite constellation in orbit, our strategic partner creates the world’s smartest images – giving customers the confidence to make the decisions that matter most. Customers everywhere rely on their best-in-class technology, global coverage providing the most accurate, mission-critical information about our changing planet.

 

Satellite imagery provides foundational context and visualization of ground conditions, empowering organizations to make critical, time-sensitive decisions. Emerging remote sensing technologies continue to broaden the capabilities of imaging satellites, providing more types of data at global scale.

 

Oil & Gas

With over three decades of experience, our analysts can apply their unique understanding of the oil industry to help you assess risk and reduce expenses. By utilizing old and current multispectral satellite image data, spectral analysis, and sub-pixel classification, old well locations can be recovered and coordinates adjusted to improve the geophysical and geological interpretation "before" additional wells are drilled in the same area.

 

Mining

Satellite imagery and aerial photography have proven to be important tools in support of mineral exploration projects. They can be used in a variety of ways. such as providing geologists and field crews the location of tracks, roads, fences and inhabited areas. This is important for mapping out potential access corridors for exploration areas and considering the environmental impact of large projects. The satellite map data is also useful for mapping outcrops and regolith systematics and vegetation cover across exploration blocks and over regional areas.

 

Satellite images can also benefit geologists, scientists, and exploration managers due to the multiple bands that the satellites carry which allow them to interpret wavelengths that cannot be seen by the human eye. Near infrared, short wave infrared, and thermal infrared can be used to identify the difference in structural features of the earth's surface.Multispectral imaging and thematic mapping allows researchers to collect reflection data and absorption properties of soils, rock, and vegetation. This data could be utilized by trained photo-geologists to interpret surface lithology's, identify clays, oxides, and soil types from satellite imagery.

 

Satellite image data has been used by government, commercial, industrial, civilian, and educational communities throughout the world. The data is used to support a wide range of applications in such areas as global change research, agriculture, forestry, geology, resource management, geography, mapping, hydrology, and oceanography.

 

What is GEOINT?

 

GEOINT is the acronym for geospatial intelligence, which is information derived from an analysis of images and data associated with a particular location. GEOINT uses imagery to survey and assess human activity and physical geography anywhere on Earth. GEOINT was initially a project by the U.S. military and is now used by academia and commercial enterprises to solve geographic problems.

 

GEOINT consists of imagery, imagery intelligence (IMINT), and geospatial information. Any one or combination of these three GEOINT elements may be considered GEOINT.

 

GEOINT has also been adopted by the business intelligence sector. GEOINT is used by location-based services and has transformed the way B2B and B2C enterprises approach logistics and marketing.
