Pléiades Primary (Download)

Primary: Sensor image, not georeferenced or map-projected, and rigourous model metadata (attitude, ephemeris) allowing geometric processing (orthorectification – DEM extraction). RGB+NIR (2 m) and panchromatic (0.5 m) bands.

Description

Pléiades 1A/1B are very-high resolution twin satellites offering 0.5m resolution products. The constellation is highly reactive and has been designed for daily revisit anywhere on Earth, with stereo and tri-stereo capacity.

The Primary product is the geometric processing level closest to the natural image acquired by the sensor. This product restores perfect collection conditions: the sensor is placed in rectilinear geometry, and the image is clear of all radiometric distortion. This product is optimal for those clients familiar with satellite imagery processing techniques who want to apply their own production methods (orthorectification or 3D modelling for example). To this end, RPCs and the sensor model are provided with the product to ensure full autonomy and simplicity for users.

Pléiades Primary is an Analytic imagery product. This data block returns:

a multispectral image with 4 bands (RGB + NIR, 12 bits), and
a panchromatic image with 12 bits.

Please note: If the parameter clip_to_aoi is set to true, only the AOI is delivered. If it is set to false, the entire Pléiades scene is returned.
