EOcafe: EO is in the news
Показать описание
This week‘s EOcafe will take us into the world of media and communications!
In the early days of satellite Earth Observation, it seemed that the main use of the images coming from Landsat and SPOT was to show the readers of main-stream media (MSM) views of the world never seen before. The images were highly educative and certainly led to a much greater awareness of places and local news amongst the wider population. They also provided strategic information to the decision-makers but not to the degree possible today with high-resolution images.
At that time, the free and open data policy was still several years off and the main barrier to the use of the images by the MSM was the cost.
