McGill University Library has a small collection of Digital Globe's Quickbird satellite imagery. Quickbird is a high-resolution (60 cm) satellite. All of the images in our collection have been radiometrically and geometrically corrected. In addition, the images are projected in Universal Transvere Mercator. Each satellite image in our collection has two components, a black and white image (60 cm resolution), and a multispectral image (240 cm resolution).
