![]() These flights have at minimum a specialized camera pointing down, and often two cameras pointing sideways to get the the 45 degree imagery. Given their height, satellites cannot get quite the same resolution as aircraft, so high resolution imagery that you often seen in urban areas is normally from aircraft. This tells you that the image was taken by a satellite. When something is moving fast and at a different altitude than ground level the delay delay between the images result in each of the colours not matching up, that is why you'll sometimes see planes in flight have a rainbow behind them in the aerial images. The images are then combined together to produce a coloured image. Satellites take multiple images, usually one with a monochrome camera and then a series from colour camera with different coloured filters for each exposure. Hello aerial imagery in Maps is a combination of imagery taken from satellites and imagery taken from aircraft. I hope this is not top secret information. So, now I would like to stop the search, and the questioning internally, by asking the same question here, I hope this is the right place, to me I would be happy to know how its done in details, how the camera gathers all the information and merge them to form what we see on the map, the globe. ![]() I came to know about MAXAR Technology, more information found here SATELLITE IMAGERY and some on Youtube. As a local guide, I felt like I am an embarrassment to my self, how can I be a local guide without knowing this type of information, it feels like a cameraman who does not know how a photo is captured, even though this is another level of photography. When I tried to search the internet recently I came across information that contradict my assumption. My question is How Satellite Images Are Captured For Google Maps? I used to assume that these images are captured using a helicopter or a high tech plane of some sort. This post is inspired by post based on The Camera which captured the First Human footprint on Moon - TravellerG. ![]() Hi everyone, I had a question my self which could not be answered for a while, which is almost since I got here as a local guide or even before when I started using Google Maps, I am sure everyone ask them selves this question but ignoring it somehow, that is why I needed to get an official answer, which I can use in future when someone else ask me this question back.
