Vertical artifacts in high-resolution WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 satellite imagery

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: June 27, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-07-20
Satellite sensor artifacts can negatively impact the interpretation of satellite data. One such artifact is linear features in imagery which can be caused by a variety of sensor issues and can present as either wide, consistent features called banding, or as narrow, inconsistent features called striping. This study used high-resolution data from DigitalGlobe's WorldView-3 satellite collected at Lake Okeechobee, Florida, on 30 August 2017. Primarily designed as a land sensor, this study investigated the impact of vertical artifacts on both at-sensor radiance and a spectral index for an aquatic target. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: NGA Nextview license agreements prohibit the distribution of original data files from WorldView due to copyright. It can be accessed through the following means: National Geospatial Intelligence Agency contract details prevent distribution of Maxar data. Questions regarding Nextvew can be sent so NGANextView_License@nga.mil. Questions regarding the NASA Commercial Data Buy can be sent to yvonne.ivey@nasa.gov. Format: high-resolution data from DigitalGlobe's WorldView-3 satellite. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Coffer, M., P. Whitman, B. Schaeffer, V. Hill, R. Zimmerman, W. Salls, M. Lebrasse, and D. Graybill. Vertical artifacts in high-resolution WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 satellite imagery of aquatic systems. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING.
