- When large scale natural disasters occur, DigitalGlobe provides open imagery to assist humanitarian relief efforts. For example, the Ecuador earthquake in April 2016. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team adds DigitalGlobe’s imagery to its online mapping platform where hundreds of thousands of volunteers identify destroyed buildings and impassable roads, quickly generating maps that can be used by response teams.
- DigitalGlobe high-resolution imagery and geospatial analysis of Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was used to identify likely locations of elephant poaching enabling park rangers to focus their resources in those areas.
- DigitalGlobe satellite imagery was used to create population estimates of remote communities in Afghanistan so that health response teams could deliver sufficient supplies of polio vaccines. Buildings were first identified by computer algorithms, and then a DigitalGlobe Tomnod campaign enlisted volunteers to verify. Once 50,000 square kilometers of imagery was verified, population data was distributed across the verified settlements, and shared with healthcare workers on the ground.
