DigitalGlobe offers three types of products:
Basic Imagery, Standard Imagery, and Orthorectified Imagery

Basic Imagery products are the least processed of the QuickBird Imagery Products and are designed for customers having advanced image processing capabilities. Basic Imagery, together with the supplied attitude, ephemeris, and camera model information, is suitable for advanced photogrammetric processing (i.e., orthorectification). Basic Imagery products are radiometrically corrected and sensor corrected, but not geometrically corrected nor mapped to a cartographic projection and ellipsoid.

Standard Imagery products are georeferenced to a cartographic projection, making them suitable for numerous applications. In addition, Standard Imagery products are radiometrically corrected, sensor corrected, and geometrically corrected.

Orthorectified Imagery products are GIS-ready and are used as an image base map for a wide variety of applications. Orthorectified Imagery products are an ideal base for creating and revising mapping and GIS databases, or for registering existing feature layers. These products can also be used for change detection and other analytical applications that require a high degree of absolute accuracy. These products have radiometric corrections, sensor corrections, geometric corrections, topographic corrections, and are mapped to a cartographic projection. For Orthorectified Imagery products with a stated accuracy (1:12,000 and 1:25,000 scale), it is DigitalGlobe’s responsibility to collect the support data required to make your product. In addition, DigitalGlobe offers a Custom Orthorectified Imagery product that uses customer provided support data to orthorectify QuickBird Imagery.

Product Accuracy
As shown in the following table, the product levels equate to different levels of processing and geolocational accuracy.
