Desde la lista internacional de OSM me entero que USGS ha liberado un
conjunto muy grande de imagenes capturadas con el satelite OrbView-3 entre
el año 2003 al 2007.  Hay muchas imágenes disponibles para Colombia, muchas
de ellas nubladas pero también muchas listas para mapear.  En un vistazo
general he encontrado muy buenas imágenes de Cali, Norte del Valle y
Cartagena.  Hay mucho para explorar y sin duda se constituye como una gran
fuente alterna de datos para OSM.  Entre lo más interesante de este
conjunto es que ofrece resolucion espacial de 1 metro en la banda
pancromatica (blanco y negro) y 4 metros en multiespectro (bandas visibles
más infrarojo) [1].  Las imágenes se pueden descargar desde  [2].  En el
email adjunto se discute algo sobre el licenciamiento y se aclara que,
efectivamente, el conjunto es de dominio público...

Hello Hrvoje,

Thank you for contacting the USGS Earth Resources Observation and
Science (EROS) Center.

GeoEye's OrbView-3 satellite was amongst the world's first commercial
satellites to provide high-resolution imagery from space.

USGS EROS received approximately 180,000 OrbView-3 image "segments'. The
data that was delivered by GeoEye was a L1B "Basic Enhanced"
radiometrically corrected format.

It is now available to the general public for download at no charge from
the EarthExplorer site. http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov

Yes, it is public domain. There is no legal requirement for users to
acknowledge or credit USGS as the source for public domain information,
but they may wish to do so as a courtesy. If you wish to acknowledge or

Hello,

Please see the e-mail below.

We've been seeing the releases about Orbview-3, but weren't sure, since
it comes originally from a private commercial company, whether it was
actually public domain or not.

Thank-you,

Hi

I'm a member of OpenStreetMap community from Croatia. While surfing
I found an article abouth OrbView-3 becoming free: _http://is.gd/_QQ8A
Is that correct, and if yes, what exactly does that mean? Does that mean
free for downloading and viewing, or free for usage as a source? For us
it would mean the right to trace over those images and public those traces.
Searching your web I found _http://is.gd/z0h4Gm_and there is no mention
of OrbView-3 as commercial, but there states "Commercial vendor
licensing may restrict access to imagery, and license restrictions may
vary for each individual image. However, users have the option to
request license upgrades for imagery not currently licensed for their
Federal agency."
So the main question is: What is the licence of OrbView-3? Is it Public
Domain?

Regards,
Hrvoje Bogner
