What is ProRaster Premium?

ProRaster Premium is an advanced platform for exploring, understanding, and making discoveries in modern raster grids, raster imagery, and multispectral raster imagery.

Build and edit multilayered “rendering algorithms”. The class-leading rendering engine transforms your raster data into rich, beautiful, and informative imagery. The multi-threaded and GPU-accelerated rendering engine generates immersive imagery that will help you build an understanding of, and make discoveries in, your raster data.

Discover more value in Earth Observation Imagery. Data and sensor agnostic, ProRaster provides pre-processing and visualisation of satellite multispectral Earth Observation Imagery. Access the vast trove of freely available satellite multispectral imagery being continuously acquired by the Landsat and Sentinel2 constellations. Automatically connect to downloaded scenes and tiles and apply pre-processing and corrections. Render using RGB band combinations, pan-sharpening and pixel quality masking. Use virtual raster technology to compute scores of Spectral Indices and display them in your 2D and 3D maps.

ProRaster Premium extends ProRaster Essential

  • ProRaster Premium includes all the features of ProRaster Essential.
  • Export your algorithm to a located image raster and display it in any GIS or mapping application. The flexible export tool allows you to output a raster over any data range or clipped to a complex polygon set, at any resolution you specify.
  • Create MRR format rasters by converting existing rasters or by joining tiled rasters together into a single, efficient raster. Exercise control over the MRR format and get the best efficiency and performance.
  • Convert rasters of almost any format to a set of standard, interoperable, formats.

Which ProRaster tier is right for me?

ProRaster Premium is for people who want to explore and create raster datasets. It provides an advanced tool for importing Earth Observation Imagery, with fully automated support for the Landsat and Sentinel2 platforms.
