Metadata explained

Описание: Map-ready comparable product

Satellite image products must show the target area as if acquired from straight above, with a consistent representation of distances. Looking at the area from an angle, elevation changes, such as mountains, valleys, and even the Earth’s curvature, must be accounted for to produce a map-ready product.

Comparing one image with another, images need to be projected onto a standard grid and formatted into industry-standard products. These geo-coded products contain metadata so downstream users can use the imagery correctly and within context.
