WorldView-3 Level 2A Multispectral 8-Band Satellite Imagery

WorldView-3 Level 2A Multispectral 8-Band Imagery is a collection of high-resolution commercial satellite data acquired by the CSDA Program. The imagery covers the global land surface from August 2014 onward, providing data in coastal, blue, green, yellow, red, red edge, and two near-infrared bands. These Level 2A products have been radiometrically and sensor-corrected, projected to a map plane, and have a coarse DEM applied.

Use Cases

• Land cover classification based on 8-band multispectral data.
• Change detection over time leveraging the temporal resolution of less than one day.
• Environmental monitoring using coastal and near-infrared spectral bands.
• Urban planning and infrastructure analysis based on 1.24-meter spatial resolution.
• Agricultural assessment utilizing red edge and near-infrared bands for vegetation health.

Strengths

• High spatial resolution of 1.24 meters at nadir.
• Broad temporal coverage from August 2014 to the present.
• Global land surface coverage.
• Data is pre-processed with radiometric correction, sensor correction, and map projection.

Limitations

• Data access is restricted by an NGA license and requires CSDA Program approval.
• Specific column names and dataset size metrics (rows, size) are not provided in the metadata.
• There is a conflict in the listed data provider between Maxar Technologies and Vantor, Inc.
