- the world in bright 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™.

BrightEarth can be used:
- as a global imagery base for GIS within web mapping applications, location-based services and multimedia content
- as the basis for 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
Whether BrightEarth™ is used as the foundation of your mobile content application or web-based mapping service or as the backdrop to your enterprise GIS, BrightEarth™ imagery is simple for you to integrate and to use.
BrightEarth™ imagery is easily enhanced by other data. Please contact us about including SRTM 50m digital elevation models, place name geography and linear vector features along with BrightEarth™ Imagery.
