Applications

SPOT Scenes are intended for:

  • geometric image processing,
  • photo-interpreting,
  • thematic studies.

SPOT Scenes are available with the following options:

-
-
- - -
-
Resolution and spectral mode
-

Depending on the level and detail required for specific applications:

Black and white Colour
2.5 m 2.5 m *
5 m 5 m *
10 m 10 m
  20 m


* except level 1B


Size
Depending on the surface of the area to be studied:

  • full scenes: 60 km long x 60 to 80 km wide, according to the viewing angle.
  • extracts of scenes
    (for 2.5 m and 5 m in black & white and in colour and for 10 m in colour):
    • 1/2 scene : ~ 42 km x 42 km
    • 1/4 scene : ~ 30 km x 30 km
    • 1/8 scene : ~ 21 km x 21 km

Scene extracts can be positioned freely within a scene.

Preprocessing level
- Depending on the geometric corrections required:
level 1A
level 1B
level 2A

Location accuracy
-

Depending on the expected geometric accuracy:

  • over flat ground it is greater than 350 m (1 sigma) for the SPOT 1 to 4 satellites (10 m for black and white and 20 m for colour),
  • and drops to only 30 m (1 sigma) for SPOT 5 (2.5 m and 5 m in black and white and colour and 10 m in colour).
