BrightEarth™ PDF Print

Seamless 14.25 meter resolution imagery of the entire Earth in bright, natural color. 

Using a proprietary algorithm, ComputaMaps has transformed the false-color (742 band combination) GeoCover Landsat mosaics developed for NASA into a seamless natural color mosaic of the entire planet. Our aim was to create a seamless mosaic of the whole world in bright, vivid natural color that retains the high contrast detail of the original pan-sharpened source imagery.

The result of this research is BrightEarth™ – the perfect global imagery base for GIS, web mapping applications, location-based services and multimedia content, 3D visualization and flight simulation, security and relief agency logistics, or any application where a seamless, highly detailed, geographically accurate, and realistic view of the world is required.
