As a subscriber you are allocated a set number of credits each month. By downloading imagery you will use one or more of your monthly credits. Topo downloads are included with your subscription and will not be subtracted from your credit allocation. To continue, simply click Ok, otherwise click Cancel.
To view the aerial view of the current map location, you need to select an aerial year to display. Click on the aerials button in the top left of the viewer. You should see a list of years pop out to the right. These are the years of aerial coverage that we currently have for the area indicated by center point of the map. To select a year, just click on the year you want to see. The current year will now display under the aerials button and within a couple seconds, the imagery for that year will replace the map.

Like the aerials and topos selectors, the atlases will let you view additional historical representations of the viewing area. We have geo-referenced digitized versions of historic maps and property boundary documents. This is also where you can select the map layer if you so desire. Note that our atlas selection is rather scarce as we are currently working on this arduous task.
Looking at historical photos is certainly interesting, but what if you want a snapshot of an area unencumbered by watermarks? You can purchase imagery in the form of digital images (jpeg, png, or GeoTiff). Or you can purchase a printout of a selected area.
Hopefully you're feeling like a pro by now, effortlessly navigating our historic aerial imagery from coast to coast. As you continue using Historic Aerials we hope that confidence grows. Our only advice is to try stuff. By now hopefully you've discovered that action buttons have hints by just hovering your mouse over it. You may also notice advantages of a mouse wheel in changing the zoom level. These, along with other tips will become apparent as you use our product. When in doubt, give it a click, and see what happens!
Instead of using the current date (which is the default), you can step back in time by adjusting the time slider. Unlike the cloudless imagery we are accustomed to, this is the true view of our planet.
Recently installed Google Earth Pro, v 7.3.3.7786. (On PC). Tried using historical imagery, but selecting View > Historical imagery does not bring up a time-slider (nor does clicking clock icon in top toolbar).
Good Try ! but this is not what I am looking for... If you open Google Earth Pro and hit the historical imagery slider button you will see the dates there and then you slider backwards you can see the colors changes... Sometimes it shows color or black and white ...things like that..
Question : A python script that will take the Start date and End date as a parameter to access the satellite basemap world imagery and then zoom to the feature using ID number from my feature layer and export it in PDF file format.
Hi all, I'm doing an application which use Cesium to render the earth map. Cesium is great and it has a lot of great features. But I observed that the timeline only tracks the sky and stars movements without the past imagery. I know Google Earth has a feature which allows to view the past imagery from 1950 to today. So is it possible to realize it in Cesium? If so, how to do it? If not, is there another solution for it?
However, if you looking for sat imagery worldwide, there probably are no providers with this option. I don't thing Bing map offer this service. Maybe with Esri, but if they do that, that will probably be spread in different data sets not only one ( =esri&t=maps&o=modified&f=imagery)

Thanks for your reply! I have seen the info you noticed. Unfortunately, these services LandsatGLS are not about ArcGISMapServerImageryProvider, instead they are used with ArcGISImageServerTerrainProvider. In my app, I should use ArcGISMapServerImageryProvider which can only use the services listed in Folder: /
where the historical imagery doesn't exist.
Having a similar problem in the UK. I think they've just added a load more historical Landsat/Copernicus dated layers. In your case I guess that means it's displaying whatever "improved" imagery it can at your scales. In my case it means that scrolling back through time on sites where before I had 1-2m resolution aerial imagery of maybe 10 dates I now have an extra 20-30 sets of useless pixelated satellite imagery to skip through before I find dated aerial imagery again. Would be nice to be able to filter historical imagery by resolution.
In the example below, the northern half of the image is aerial the same imagery and has coverage over the southern half. But because satellite imagery is available for the southern half, I get this. Skipping one step back in date moves to full aerial coverage again. It's just lots of extra clicks and loading time to find the imagery that's useful.
The problem only seems to happen in Google Earth Pro - I've reverted to Google Earth and everything is fine. The new Google Earth doesn;t have historical imagery - lets just hope they don't force than on us
Satellite historical imagery of India over the past two decades has disappeared from Google Earth. This has been noted by many scholars and researchers who rely on the service for tracking changes in topography, forest cover, urbanisation and history.
Historical satellite imagery has become an important resource as it helps track changes in the landscape. The disappearance of lakes, encroachments on water bodies and even civic projects like the Secretariat in Hyderabad or the changes in New Delhi due to new Parliament building can be seen in sharp relief in the historical data.
Historical imagery shows you a collection of pictures that depict how a place has evolved over time.
A sizable archive of historical photographs from the first days of satellite photography is available on Google Earth.
Now with Street View, you can see a landmark's growth from the ground up, like the Freedom Tower in New York City or the 2014 World Cup Stadium in Fortaleza, Brazil. This new feature can also serve as a digital timeline of recent history, like the reconstruction after the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Onagawa, Japan. You can even experience different seasons and see what it would be like to cruise Italian roadways in both summer and winter.
I'm trying to zoom in on an area where it looks okay zoomed out, but is covered in imagery from winter when zoomed in. Only zoomed in where I need to be can I not tell the difference between a lake and a swamp. Since the project has to do with where bodies of water are, this is a problem.
Since Google Earth 6, you can view imagery from further back in the past. Hopefully the imagery from the past will provide you a better view. This very much depends on the location. Dense cities often have better images, taken more frequently than elsewhere.
TopoView highlights one of the USGS's most important and useful products, the topographic map. In 1879, the USGS began to map the Nation's topography. This mapping was done at different levels of detail, to support various land use and other purposes. As the years passed, the USGS produced new map versions of each area. TopoView shows the many and varied topographic maps of each of these areas through history. This can be particularly useful for historical purposes, such as finding the names of natural and cultural features that have changed over time.
This dataset contains an imagery base layer representing conditions from the mid-1950s across the western United States. We sourced the imagery from over 160,000 aerial images in the USGS EROS Archive taken between 1940 and 1970, with the median acquisition date being 1954. The imagery provides complete coverage for 17 western U.S. states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Explore the dataset visually through our easy-to-use web map application at LandscapeExplorer.org.
We preprocessed the imagery in MATLAB to reduce image vignetting and improve image contrast. Orthorectification was performed in Metashape. The compiled imagery had varying Ground Sampling Distance values, ranging from 0.6 to 1.7 meters. The GEE dataset was written out at 1 meter GSD. Dive deeper into our data processing methods at our LandscapeExplorer.org development page.
There are many sources of satellite data you can use depending on your needs. Some platforms will let you view the data in your browser, some offer download options so you can process it and extract meaningful insights. Some focus on open (free) satellite imagery, some focus on the highest resolution satellite imagery available for purchase.If you are wondering which providers has the most up-to-date satellite imagery, the highest resolution, or the largest library for open data, we have answers.
