“…The photos represent varying camera angles, light conditions and overlaps, making it difficult to derive a sufficiently accurate 3D model. The challenges and limitations of NASA's HDEV (High Definition Earth Viewing) video data (Muri, Runco, Fontanot, & Getteau, 2017) for low-resolution 3D model generation (GSD of 500 m) were already described (Schultz, Ortwein, & Rienow, 2018) and they are similar to those observed for the high-resolution Fuji model presented here. Consequently, a sensor with low light capabilities like a Sony EXMOR® CMOS 35 mm sensor with 12.4 megapixel (0.004 Lux/ISO 409,600, 4K), or even 8K version CMOS is useful.…”

Observations in thermal infrared (IR) contribute substantially to the understanding of the global fluxes of energy and matter between Earth's surface, ocean and atmosphere. Key parameters derived from such observations are Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Land Surface Emissivity (LSE). These variables are important for weather forecasting and climate modelling. However, satellite systems currently in orbit provide only a small number of spectral bands in the thermal region, and consequently cannot be used for temperature emissivity separation (TES) to accurately derive LST and LSE. Hence, capacities to investigate processes or phenomena where LST in high temporal and high spatial resolution (<100 m) is required, such as agricultural applications or urban heat island monitoring, are limited. Additionally, the measurement of radiative energy released from active large and small fires, which contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, is still challenging with current IR systems. Here, we introduce the proposed multispectral sensor system DIEGO (Dynamic Infrared Earth Observation on the ISS Orbit) with 11 spectral bands and a ground sampling distance of less than 60 m, which aims to reduce the observation gap in the thermal infrared significantly.

“…The project "Columbus Eyelive videos from the ISS in school lessons" funded by the German Aerospace Centre has access to video data collected by NASA's HDEV experiment (Muri, Runco, Fontanot, & Getteau, 2017). Columbus Eye acts as an exclusive European partner of NASA's HDEV experiment and aims to integrate Earth observation in schools.…”

A large variety of various passive and active satellite sensors producing panchromatic, multispectral or hyperspectral images of the Earth's surface are currently in space and are used in different scientific fields such as earth science (e.g. geography, hydrology, geology, oceanography and glaciology), disaster management, as well as for military, commercial and economic purposes. In contrast, video files are a rather exotic data format in the field of Earth observation. Occasionally, video cameras are used in airborne remote sensing, but only recently video Earth observation from space has been established. This paper aims at the integration of video data in the scientific workflow, revealing advantages and disadvantages of moving images. Being the only available source for continuous video Earth observation data, the NASA experiment High Definition Earth Viewing on-board the International Space Station is the basis for our evaluation of the usability of video data. Following the rather coarse resolution of these data, we exemplify some potential fields of application in science and education. We show a basic workflow how to produce 3D models and stereoscopic videos of the Earth's surface. As a pre-study for videos with better spatial as well as radiometric resolution, the delivered products serve not only scientific purposes, but are integrated in school lessons to evoke the pupils' fascination for earth sciences and space.
