VRICON – THE GLOBE IN 3D
VRICON is Geospatial Big Data. VRICON leverages a
unique algorithm and the combination of
DigitalGlobe's entire database
DigitalGlobe’s refresh capacity through the constellation of 5
satellites.
VRICON 3D data is computed at datacentres in Sweden and
close to DigitalGlobe archive in the US, leveraging:
63 PB DigitalGlobe satellite imagery
4.5 billion sq. km of imagery
Averages more than 30 copies of the globe.
60 % of landmass captured every 30 days

ACCURACY MEASUREMENTS
- THE WORLD IS 3D. ACCURACY SHOULD BE MEASURED IN 3D
Traditional accuracy measurements are Circular Error 90 % (CE90) and
Linear Error 90 % (LE90) are 2D or 1D measurements.
Spherical Error 90% (SE90) will provide next generation targeting
coordinates.
•
•
SE90 for Vricon Aerial 3D grids are better than 0.3 m.
SE90 for Vricon Satellite 3D grids are much better than 6 m.
CE90 and LE90 for Vricon data are well within the SE90 measurements.
