Visualization & Simulation Modeling
GeoEye imagery can be used in a variety of ways to create real-world environments
and scenarios that require three-dimensional perspectives and visual accuracy. Because
our high-resolution imagery is extremely detailed, it integrates seamlessly with
newer simulation models. These models leverage ongoing developments in computer
science, geographic information systems, and near real-time data-gathering, to offer
unique perspectives that traditional analysis has commonly lacked—a view of phenomena
as a result of the collective dynamics and relationships between interacting objects.
Applications
- Insurance: risk assessment, catastrophic-loss reduction, response planning for natural
catastrophes
- Military: mission planning and rehearsal, aerial reconnaissance
- Environmental monitoring, planning, and management: flooding, forest damage, and
water pollution
- Emergency facilities planning
- Utility planning and management: energy transmission, telecommunications
- Entertainment/media: scenery development for computer games, movies, documentaries,
news programs, and Web media
- Marine applications: seafloor exploration for geological applications, navigational
hazards, shipwrecks
- Flight-simulation: military and commercial aviation training, flight simulator
development
- Archaeology: virtual exploration for locating viable sites
