RapidEye (RESA)

The RapidEye data of this collection has been purchased by the German Space Agency with funds from the Ministry of Economy and is available for Germany-based researchers for scientific use.

This collection comprises the following products:

  • The RapidEye Basic Scene (L1B) product is radiometrically- and sensor-corrected, providing imagery as seen from the spacecraft without correction for any geometric distortions inherent in the imaging process, and is not mapped to a cartographic projection. The imagery data is accompanied by all spacecraft telemetry necessary for the processing of the data into a geo-corrected form.
  • The RapidEye Ortho Tile (L3A) product is orthorectified, multispectral data and is suitable for many data science and analytic applications that require imagery with an accurate geolocation and cartographic projection. It eliminates the perspective effect on the ground (not on buildings), restoring the geometry of a vertical shot. In addition to orthorectification, the imagery has radiometric corrections applied to correct for any sensor artifacts and transformation to at-sensor radiance.

Please note: this is a completed collection. No more data will be added.
