If any of our readers have struggled with other geospatial search engines that are clunky; only query one data source; and/or do not provide preview images, then Image Hunter is the solution to your woes, as it features:

  • Near-instantaneous loading of low resolution preview imagery with associated collection date and key metadata
  • Ability to define your area of interest by address and with coordinates, geometric shape or shapefile/KMZ
  • Responsive base layer with street names and imagery to provide a spatial context when discovering data
  • Online ordering of satellite imagery from 3 data providers and 7 constellations
  • Global coverage with tools to measure distance and create annotated maps

During the month of October, we made several upgrades:

  1. You can search for archive coverage by season
  2. The default search parameters have been changed to included imagery options dating back to the start of each satellite’s archive with less than 20% cloud and that were collected at less than 30 degrees off-nadir.

During the month of November, we made several important upgrades, here are the highlights of the visible, front-end changes:

  1. The search results and information page look and feel has been improved, including the addition of polygon size in the results window.
