It's amazing to see how an aircraft and vehicles can be tracked using satellite images in the above video. The full motion HD video from space of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world is taken by Skybox Imaging. Surely many things Google can benefit from acquiring the company.
When Google said Tuesday it had entered into an agreement to acquire Mountain View-based satellite imaging company Skybox Imaging, it tipped its hand a little as to why it was a strategic move.
“Skybox’s satellites will help keep Google Maps accurate with up-to-date imagery,” the company said in a blog post. “Over time, we also hope that Skybox’s team and technology will be able to help improve Internet access and disaster relief — areas Google has long been interested in.”
