When collecting satellite imagery of a large area, sometimes a single image collection won\u2019t cover your AOI in its entirety. In a marketplace console like EarthCache, Mosaicking is an optional setting that allows for multiple images from the same satellite sensor to be mosaicked (aka “stitched”) together. This creates a single continuous image of your area of interest. Cloud-free imagery is prioritized when the images are mosaicked.<\/span><\/p>

Why use mosaicking?<\/b><\/p>

  1. If you have a large AOI (larger than 20 sqkm), it may be covered by more than one satellite image. If you do not turn on mosaicking with a large AOI, you may not receive results from your pipeline because no image covers enough of the AOI to meet the coverage requirements.<\/span><\/li>
  2. If you do not require your entire AOI to be captured on the same day, multi-day mosaicking will provide flexibility & ensure there is imagery for the entirety of your AOI.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    When you select Mosaicking, there is then a mosaic range option that appears.<\/span><\/p>
