Technical Note on Quality Assessment for Maxar WorldView-3 HD

This technical note details the results of the data quality assessments, including geometric calibration, radiometric calibration and image quality, performed on a sample of commercial Maxar WorldView-3 (WV3) High Definition (HD) products that have been procured from the data provider, European Space Imaging (EUSI). The commercial WV3 satellite sensor, which is part of the WV constellation owned by Maxar (acquired DigitalGlobe), is a Very High-Resolution (VHR) optical satellite sensor. It provides the user community with visible, near-infrared and shortwave infrared data, with a spatial resolution of up to 0.30 m. The HD processing is aiming to improve spatial resolution of images. This technical note details the data quality assessment of the Maxar WV3 HD 15 cm products and not the native products
