MXR-CS-HD 02/21 Although large features on the ground, like buildings, can be easy to discern, small features, like tents, are not. HD allowed Land Info to "zoom in" and capture the actual extents of the temporary structures. With this information, UNOSAT was able to accurately estimate population numbers for each camp and determine if minimum humanitarian standards were being met for camp residents. Land Info also mapped the remaining available land to assess the capacity for additional displaced people. HD TECHNOLOGY Maxar HD Technology is an intelligent way to increase the number of pixels in an image— ultimately improving the clarity of the information captured in each pixel. HD imagery enables faster and more accurate data extraction from images collected by Maxar's satellite constellation, improving the clarity needed for advanced machine learning and analytics at global scale. Resulting images are refined, with precise edges and well-constructed details that reduce visual clutter and pixelation that can distract or obstruct interpretation by human eyes and computer vision algorithms alike. info@maxar.com maxar.com Accurate, timely data for critical response HD imagery maximizes the ability to extract information from satellite imagery. 15 cm HD 30 cm
