ABOUT US

Spacemetric is software company which is the leading provider of geospatial image management systems for satellite and airborne sensors. Our products streamline the transformation of raw data from satellite and airborne sensors into imagery products ready for analytics. Lars Edgardh and Torbjörn Westin co-founded Spacemetric in 1999 to turn the craft of satellite image production into a flexible industrial process.

Today the company delivers affordable, high-performance software solutions for all types of geospatial imagery to sensor operators, solution integrators and large users of image data in both the civilian and defence sectors. These products are server-based (Keystone), cloud-based (Cloudstone), and increasingly being used at the sensor ‘edge’ (Bluestone).

OUR TIMELINE

  • The workstation combined high throughput with high quality for the wide range of satellite sensors. It was the first production system in the world able to provide orthoimages from the Eros satellite. It also provided similar products from other satellites including Ikonos, Quickbird and Spot 5.

  • The project is being conducted in cooperation with the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) and ImageSat International N.V. Spacemetric has provided an automated integrated solution for operational geometric correction of EROS-A and SPOT-4 satellite imagery received in near real time by NLR’s RAPIDS mobile ground station.

  • The Web Map Server (WMS) interface allowed searches of ESA’s catalogue from a standard Web browser and displayed geocoded browse images in a range of map projections.

  • Spacemetric started as a spinoff from SSC Space with the idea to commersialise the production environment used in Kiruna by SSC Space.
