The different processing levels include various radiometric and geometric corrections, precision correction using group control points, with or without digital terrain model, and output in any standard map projection. The data is produced as digital data or as a variety of photographic products. A unique product at Satellitbild is the Satellite Image Map which, as a complement to the scene format, is imagery in map sheet format.

Another product is digital terrain models from SPOT data. The most common digital distribution media is magnetic tape at 1600 or 6250 bpi. The production system is able to read and produce all of the most frequently used formats for satellite imagery, i.e. CRIS-format, SPOT IMAGE-format, LTWG-format, FAST-format, ERDAS-format, etc.

For input to ARC/INFO GIS system, the GISIMAGE format is available. GISIMAGE is an ERDAS image format delivered on 1/4 inch cassettes or CCTs for input on both SUN and VAX stations. The GISIMAGE is ideal as a background image for integrated raster/vector updating of map information.
