Basic is the least-processed QuickBird imagery, it is provided with the QuickBird sensor model and is intended for expert users with the resources to carry out sophisticated processing. Basic imagery is available only as one or more full scenes. A Basic Imagery QuickBird scene is approximately 16.5 km by 16.5 km at nadir, or 272 km2. Note that the minimum price for a Basic scene is $16 / km2 x 272 = $4,352. Standard Imagery is a geo-referenced product, mapped to a cartographic projection, with a geolocation accuracy of +/- 23 m. Standard Imagery is provided with image metadata and is intended for a wide variety of applications. It is an area-based product, defined by your area of interest without reference to scenes. The minimum order is 25 km2. Standard Ortho-ready imagery is similar to Standard but can be further processed to give a geolocation accuracy close to that available starting from Basic Imagery.
