DigitalGlobe Delivers WorldView-4 Satellite Imagery to Australia

DigitalGlobe, Inc, who specialise in Earth imagery and information about our changing planet, has announced that it has delivered high-accuracy, high-resolution imagery from its WorldView-4 satellite to PSMA Australia to further build out Geoscape, a digital representation of the Australian continent’s built environment.

PSMA Australia offers national geospatial datasets derived from authoritative sources to support a range of public and private business solutions and is among the first commercial customers to leverage WorldView-4 imagery. They are using the imagery to create valuable location and built environment information for an estimated 20 million buildings across, including features such as building footprints and heights, rooftop materials, solar panels, and swimming pools.

“Having access to precise information about the built environment is critical for a number of industries in Australia including insurance, urban planning, emergency management and business intelligence,” said Dan Paull, PSMA Australia’s Chief Executive Officer.

“Our imagery is an enabler for numerous global transformations, such as the development of 5G networks and autonomous vehicles, unlocking insights and delivering actionable intelligence allowing customers to make decisions with confidence.” said Amy Minnick, DigitalGlobe SVP and General Manager of Commercial Imagery.
