QuickBird Imagery
|
QuickBird imagery is a fine resolution remotely sensed product available to the public through DigitalGlobe. QuickBird's ultra fine resolution
makes this valuable imagery for validation and land cover assessment. GLCF provides access to some free QuickBird imagery, provided by
DigitalGlobe in response to the December 2004 Tsunami. GLCF also provides restricted access for qualified researchers to QuickBird imagery
from the NASA Science Data Purchase.
