What is the image latency? Can you live stream?
Use case: following a person in real-time
- Nightlifer 6y agoDoubtful - OP notes in another comment that they will get 2/3 revisits to an area of interest per day - so every 8-12hrs ish. Real time following (a la Will Smith in Enemy of the State) from satellite imagery remains fictional at present. The balance of coverage vs resolution is largely dependent on satellite constellation altitude. Higher altitude = more coverage but worse resolution. More satellites also gives better coverage, but adds cost. To get enough coverage for streaming at high enough resolution for tracking an individual person needs a) an infeasibly large satellite constellation b) improvements to image resolution so higher altitudes (and thus better coverage with fewer satellites) c) guaranteed clear skies (for imagery data at least).
- topherhaddad 6y agoExactly. Lots of trade-offs in remote sensing. We're bullish on SAR to clean up on monitoring applications, due to the ability to see through clouds and at night. As that plays out, high res optical will be even more important for context when SAR detects some sort of change (then optical can be used to see what caused the change).
