GeoSage Releases New Software to Rapidly Process Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 Imagery with a few Simple Button Clicks

June 07, 2016 - -Free and easy access to the latest high-quality Sentinel-2 imagery from ESA and Landsat-8 imagery from NASA/USGS has made Earth Observation in the early 21st century even more exciting. The new imagery promises enormous opportunities for innovation and applications.

While the imagery source is great, easy-to-use, advanced and affordable image analysis tools are always demanded by not only geospatial professionals but also the broad general public.

GeoSage team has just released Spectral Transformer for Sentinel-2 Imagery, a dedicate software tool able to easily and rapidly perform some most common and important image analysis steps, including:

All analysed outputs are in GeoTIFF format, ready to be used by all GIS and remote sensing software, and Google Earth Pro.

The software website http://www.GeoSage.com/ provides detailed information on how to quickly download and analyse the Sentinel-2 imagery. Some interesting comparisons between Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 are also included. Processed sample imagery (at 10m-resolution) for six cities - San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, cape Town, Beijing and Perth - can be downloaded for evaluation.

Multispectral, wide-swath Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellite images are highly complementary to high-resolution imaging; for a few applications (e.g. those using short-wave infrared, SWIR, imagery fused at a sharp 10m resolution), they are even competitive to some high-resolution commercial offerings.
