What Can I Do with PANCROMA?

Cartographers can include distortion-free 15m pan sharpened true color images in their projects from the vast, unrestricted license³ Landsat database for anywhere in the world, license free²!
Scientists can extract valuable information from Landsat, EO-1 ALI, Hyperion, SPOT®, GeoEye® and Digital Globe® multispectral and hyperspectral satellite data using PANCROMA's image processing algorithms like the new Spectral Analyzer.
Canadians can create 10m true-color images from their free² GeoBase® SPOT® national archive data for any part of Canada by pan sharpening Landsat with SPOT. Or pan sharpen the SPOT® multispectral bands to create useful 10m false color images.

Exactly What is Pan Sharpening?

Pan sharpening is a fusion technique that produces a high-resolution color image from the low-resolution multispectral band files and the grayscale panchromatic band included in Landsat ETM+, SPOT^®, Digital Globe^®, GeoEye^®, EO-1 and other satellite data bundles, doubling or tripling image resolution.

What is Gap Filling?

The Landsat 7 satellite suffered a partial failure in 2003 when its Scan Line Corrector (SLC) unexpectedly stopped operating. The SLC failure has resulted in gaps (black stripes) in every Landsat image collected since that time. PANCROMA provides three advanced algorithms to fill in the gaps, restoring post-2003 Landsat 7 images using pre or post 2003 source images.

Who Uses PANCROMA?

Professional cartographers, scientists, archaeologists, geologists, students, mapping enthusiasts, teachers, publishers, graphic artists, and anyone looking for a low-cost application to enhance and utilize free satellite imagery.

Continuous Algorithm Development

PANCROMA is continuously improved by the addition of new utilities, and you can upgrade for free for a year after you buy. Many new PANCROMA features resulted from quick response to user feedback. What you buy today will just get better tomorrow, increasing the value of your investment!

³Note: Google and Microsoft provide satellite data coverage for most of the world. However, use of this data is restricted subject to the terms and conditions of the provider. Google for example allows free use of their imagery as long as the data is continuously available via Internet access and as long as no access fee is charged. Although it is possible to "rip" tiles and reassemble them for other uses, such a practice might violate copyright laws. Google uses image watermarks to help enforce their ownership rights. Landsat data on the other hand is copyright-free.
