Apollo Mapping Highlights Mumbai with Bird's Eye View Satellite Imagery
Apollo Mapping, a company specializing in satellite imagery, has featured Mumbai, India, in its regular 'Bird's Eye View' article series. This series showcases high off-nadir satellite images, which provide an expansive, side-view perspective of landscapes. Off-nadir refers to the tilt of a satellite camera as it images the ground, with most imagery collected at an off-nadir below 30 degrees. However, for bird's eye view images, satellites are tilted between 35 to 50 degrees to capture a unique oblique perspective. The company uses this method to offer a distinct view of various global locations, with Mumbai being the latest focus. These specialized images are sometimes captured by customer request or to document significant events like natural disasters.
