Sydney, Australia - 28 July 2010: GeoSage is pleased to announce the release of Earth Land Surface (ELS) 2000 Version 2, consisting of (1) natural-color, near-global satellite imagery tiles at 15/30/60/90m resolutions, and (2) a unique, seamless, global satellite imagery mosaic at 30m-resolution with the file size of 2.29 Terabytes or 2,290 Gigabytes (image size: 1,296,000 by 648,000 pixel).

High Quality

ELS2000 Version 2 takes advantage of lossless, ortho-rectified NASA Landsat ETM+ GeoCover 2000 imagery from USGS (file size ~4.1TB), and has been developed with new, robust spectral transformation algorithms. The result is a consistent, realistic and visually-appealing representation of global land surfaces. Many regional samples can be evaluated at http://www.GeoSage.com/. Users are encouraged to compare this new imagery source with those similar images on major web mapping portals such as Bing Maps and Google Maps.

Easy to Use

ELS2000 Version 2 can be obtained at various GIS-ready formats and projections. Large-sized global mosaics at 30/60/90m-resolutions have also been produced, therefore users can avoid extremely tedious and meticulous post-processing, which could take many months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Single-file mosaics, provided in raw binary and efficient ECW or JPEG2000 formats, are easy to use and ideal for rapid deployment and system integration. Those multi-resolution mosaics can offer at least four zooming levels under web mapping environments.

Mosaics for Individual Countries and Continents

With ELS2000 Version 2, GeoSage is also offering image mosaicking service aiming to produce 15/30/60/90m-resolution, seamless, high-quality imagery mosaics for any country or region of interest.

Numerous Applications

ELS2000 Version 2 provides a remarkably cost-effective solution to a wide range of visualisation-related applications, be they locally hosted or under cloud mapping environment. Two flexible license types - Company-wide License and Integration/Internet License, are offered.
