THEOS Products


 The THEOS imagery product is available in a variety of product options. These product options use different spectral band combinations and imply differences in the pixel resolution of the final product.

Pan-Sharpened Products
THEOS panchromatic products provide 2 meter resolution (at nadir) and 8 bits information depth. The output scene is a square scene of 22 km. x 22 km. .
THEOS multispectral products provide 15 meter resolution (at nadir) and 8 bits information depth. All four bands are delivered as one file. The output scene is a square scene of 90 km. x 90 km.
THEOS imagery products are also available in a 4-band pan-sharpened product option. These products combine the visual information of 4 multispectral bands (blue, green, red, Near IR), with the spatial information of the panchromatic band. Pan-Sharpened products are available as product option for level 2A only. The output scene is a square scene of 22 km. x 22 km.

Corrective Levels

THEOS products are provided into two correction levels:

  • System Corrected Level (1A)
    Level 1A images are radiometrically corrected: in addition to level 0 pre-processing operation, the detector equalization and radiometric abnormality removal (missing lines, invalid detectors, and compression errors) are performed.
    The PAN band and the MS reference band B1 are always geometrically raw.
    Level 1A products are geo-referenced: it means that product annotations provide information about the image localization. (detail)
  • Geo-Corrected Level (2A)
    Level 2A images are radiometrically corrected and geocoded, i.e. resampled on a cartographic grid.
    Level 2A Imagery products are suitable for users requiring modest absolute accuracy and/or large area coverage. Users of Standard Imagery products usually possess sufficient image processing tools and knowledge to manipulate and exploit the imagery for a wide variety of applications. ) (detail)
