Exploit Mode Preprocessing: AComp and High Definition (HD)

You can now add preprocessing options when exploiting images.

• Atmospheric Compensation (AComp) Vantor's Atmospheric Compensation (AComp) algorithm provides an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance as it would be measured at ground level in the absence of atmospheric scattering or absorption. By compensating for atmospheric conditions such as haze and water vapor, AComp allows for accurate imagery analysis and supports feature extraction applications.

• HD Vantor's proprietary high-definition (HD) technology enhances the visual clarity of the company's high-resolution satellite imagery. HD products are noticeably sharper, making information easier to understand and interpret than those in native resolution. The resulting image is aesthetically refined with precise edges by increasing the number of pixels to generate well-constructed details. HD preprocessing is available at zoom levels 19 and higher.

Georestriction Visualization in the User Interface

If a georestriction is applied to your account, you can view the restricted area(s) in the viewport so you know where imagery is available to you.

When viewing imagery while a georestriction is applied, you will notice the following:

• You can only view imagery in unrestricted areas.

• If an image crosses into a restricted area, you will only see portions of the image that are over the unrestricted area. Any portion of the image over restricted area will be unavailable.

• If you are over a restricted area, a message alerts you that you do not have permission to access the area.

See Working Within a Georestriction.

Language Translations

If you want to view the Hub user interface in another language, you can change your preferred language setting from the User Profile menu. You can view Hub in the following languages:

• English (en-us)

• Spanish (es-mx)

• Japanese (js)

The Hub Online Help is also available in these languages. The user guide defaults to your browser localization setting. To view the user guide in another language, select the globe icon in the user guide interface, then select a new language from the drop-down. See Using the Hub Online Help.

Mini Map

A minimap in the bottom-right corner of the viewport shows the relative location of the viewport on the map. As you zoom in on the viewport, the minimap also zooms to show a surrounding region.

See Using the Minimap.

OGC Layer Support

You can add OGC-compliant WMS and WFS layers from Web Services to view imagery and vector data in the viewport. At this time, Hub supports public WMS and WFS endpoints.

After you add a layer, select it to display it in the viewport. Layers display on top of imagery and basemaps. Additionally, WFS layers may support layer metadata, which allows you to view additional information about content displayed in the layer.

See Layers.

Coordinate Precision Update

Decimal precision for map pins and map coordinates has been updated. These coordinates are now accurate to six decimal places.

See Using the Coordinate System and Dropping Map Pins.

Delete All Selected Areas

When working with areas, you can now select multiple areas to delete them in bulk. Previously, you could only delete one area at a time.

See Deleting Areas.

Sun Elevation Filter

The sun elevation filter has been updated to use a double-ended slider. This allows you to set both a minimum and maximum angle for the sun elevation.

See Filtering Imagery.
