Short-Wave Infrared Imagery false-color swir image
In addition to offering the highest resolution satellite imagery available today,
WorldView-3 is the first commercial satellite to have eight high-resolution
bands that capture information in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) regions of
the electromagnetic spectrum. WorldView-3 expands deeper into the infrared
spectrum than any other commercial imaging satellite and provides rich data
for precisely identifying and characterizing man-made and natural material,
penetrating smoke and mapping minerals. The eight SWIR bands capture
unique information for agriculture, forestry, mining/geology and
other applications.
