SatVu’s HotSat-1 imagery leverages sophisticated digital image processing technologies to identify and understand thermal activity with precision. Each thermal image captures detailed temperature variations represented as digital numbers, where zero denotes the coldest pixel, escalating to higher numbers that indicate warmer areas.

Advanced GIS software algorithms transform these digital numbers into an intuitive color scale using the SatVu palette, with dark blue for cooler temperatures and orange for warmer zones. This approach facilitates quick and effective visualization of temperature gradients.

The availability of HotSat-1’s thermal imagery continues to serve a variety of sectors, including environmental monitoring, crisis management, precision agriculture, and others requiring detailed thermal analysis.
