A sneak peek of new HD imagery from DigitalGlobe shows off the five arenas of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Using our imagery processing pipeline, we were able to process all 50 GB (or 298 km2) of HD Imagery in 25 minutes.

This is a sneak peek of DigitalGlobe’s new HD Imagery, which processes high resolution imagery in a way that dramatically improves the usefulness of the image and enables users to extract every bit of detail physically possible of the imagery collected by their satellite constellation.

Look at zoom level 18; you’re even able to see the Olympic signage on the ski jump!
