Imagery-Satellite-SPOT 2015/2016

Brief description

The NSW SPOT6/7 imagery product is a state-wide satellite imagery product provided by the Remote Sensing and Regulatory Mapping NSW Government. The images were captured January 2015 through to May 2016. The imagery scenes used to create the NSW mosaic includes Lord Howe Island. This imagery data set has been acquired through GeoImages Pty Ltd who partnered with Airbus Defence and Space.

SPOT imagery products offer high resolution over broad areas using the SPOT 6/7 satellites. A SPOT satellite acquisition covers large areas in a single pass at resolutions up to 1.5m. Such precise coverage is ideal for applications at national and regional scales from 1:250,000 to 1:15,000. SPOT 6/7 also includes the benefits of the near-infrared (NIR) which enables applications for detection of features not visible to the human eye, such as detecting and monitoring vegetation health.

Data products supplied for all of NSW are:

1. State-wide mosaic

2. Panchromatic scenes

3. Reflectance scenes


The statewide mosaic is provided as a Red Green Blue (RGB) band combination; contrast enhanced lossless 8-bit JPEG2000 file (456gb in size).

The NSW mosaic is available from internal DPE APOLLO Image Webserver for DCCEEW employees.
