Image Collection:

Spatial Energy provides geospatial services using remote sensing imagery from QuickBird, Ikonos, WorldView-1, LandSat, SPOT, TerraSAR-X (radar) , MODIS, ASTER satellites, and from digital aerial cameras such as the UltraCam, ADS40, and DMC. In addition to multi-spectral imagery from the above sources, Spatial Energy provides digital elevation data (DEM) derived from LIDAR data, UltraCam, and other sources.

Imagery is available on demand from our extensive data archives, by tasking satellites/aerial providers, and by speculative collection. Spatial Energy has established preferred relationships with the leading data providers and can thus select the best source(s) to meet your particular application. In addition, programs such as the Spatial Energy Partner Program (EPP), R-Watch, and Spatial On Demand provide simplified, cost effective access to imagery.

Additional Info
Energy companies need accurate and timely information about their worldwide assets, including disturbed land features resulting from exploration. Gathering such information through field surveys is time consuming and costly. As an alternative, high and medium resolution radar and optical satellite imagery can be collected and then analyzed using proprietary algorithms to identify spatial, spectral, and temporal characteristics and to produce robust and timely land feature maps and associated statistics.

Services Offered
Spatial Energy’s Feature Extraction service uses state-of-the-art image segmentation and classification techniques. Features that can be extracted from imagery include facilities (e.g., building foot prints), transportation features, land use/land cover, vegetation types (e.g., agriculture, forest types), disturbed features due to exploration activities, water bodies, oil spills in water, soil types, and more. Contours, hillshades, and slope/aspect from DTM data can also be extracted.

Through feature extraction, maps are produced which depict the spatial distribution of each object of interest, the total area each object occupies, and the exact location of each object within a specified area of interest. All maps and associated statistics are provided in formats ready for ingest into decision support systems.

The imagery used for feature extraction is orthorectified which enables Spatial Energy to customize the feature map such that it fits within the customer’s decision system to support production management, analysis of disturbances due to exploration activities, and logistics planning.
