Imagery
Analysis-ready satellite imagery
Archive and new captures from 100+ satellites, processed before they reach you.

Processed before delivery, at no extra charge
Scenes from different satellites rarely line up or match in colour. So every order runs through Legato, our processing chain: orthorectification, alignment, cloud masking, pansharpening, colour balancing and mosaicking. The per-km² rate already covers it.
Alignment between dates is typically sub-pixel. That matters when you compare this year's image with last year's and need a shift on screen to mean a change on the ground.
Each run writes an alignment report. An analyst reviews it and signs off before anything is delivered.
What's in the delivery folder
You get every level the chain produces, so you can go back to the raw scenes or start from the finished mosaic. Files are Cloud-Optimised GeoTIFF with STAC metadata, by download or streamed over WMTS.
Raw source data
The operator's original scenes as captured, panchromatic and multispectral, with RPCs and sensor metadata.
Orthorectified scenes
16-bit scenes corrected for terrain and sensor geometry (DEM and RPC), map-projected and tie-point aligned. Pan and multispectral come as separate products.
Surface reflectance scenes
16-bit surface reflectance for each scene, atmospherically corrected and scaled by 20,000. Pan and multispectral come as separate products.
Pansharpened, visual
8-bit natural-colour pansharpened scenes, tone and colour balanced and sharpened for looking at.
Pansharpened, analytic
16-bit pansharpened scenes that keep their surface reflectance values (scaled by 20,000), for band maths and models.
Mosaics
Your whole area as one colour-balanced, cloud-masked image, joined along optimised seamlines. It comes as pansharpened visual (8-bit), pansharpened analytic (16-bit), and pan and multispectral surface reflectance (16-bit).
Metadata and QA
The Imagery Processing Report (PDF), covering sensor, capture, coverage and each processing level. Mosaic seamlines and cloud masks as GeoJSON, in the delivery's 00_Metadata folder.
Start from the archive, or task a satellite
From the archive
If a recent, clear scene of your area already exists, buying it is the quickest route. Nothing has to wait for a satellite to pass.
A new capture
When nothing recent or clear enough exists, order a new capture. You choose the window, the resolution and the sensor, and the operator checks feasibility before a satellite is committed.

Questions
Can you deliver in our national grid or datum?
Yes. We process to any national coordinate system and standard, and custom projections, formats and tiling cost nothing extra.
How well do different dates line up?
Alignment between dates is typically sub-pixel, so a shift between two images reads as a change on the ground.
Who checks the imagery?
Every processing run writes an alignment report, and an analyst signs the delivery off before it ships.
Do we get the raw scenes too?
Yes. The delivery folder holds every level, from the operator's raw scenes to the finished mosaic.
What if a tasked capture is cloudy or missed?
If the satellite can't capture your area inside the window, or the capture is cloudier than the limit you set, we reorder it or refund you in full.
Can you process imagery we already hold?
Yes. Send us the scenes and we run them through the same processing. Rates are on the pricing page.
