Processing Declassified Spy Satellite Imagery! (A Colored KH-9 Image From 1979)
We hang out and process an infrared color KH-9 spy satellite image of San Jose from 1979 into near true color before georeferencing it. We also play around with 3D imagery and coincidentally watch a spy satellite be launched in real time!
The final version of the KH-9 image can be interactively viewed here: soar.earth/maps/23277
3:56 - Stream starts
25:46 - Converting the image to true color
43:14 - Georefencing the image in QGIS
2:06:57 - 3D satellite imagery example with QGIS2threejs in QGIS and SRTM
2:20:00 - Watching a live launch of an NRO spy satellite
2:38:11 - Final image processing and uploading to Soar

Thanks for stopping by everyone, I had a great time!
what a sport thx for your enthusiasm
Do you georeference it into a global Mercator projection regardless of it's original projection? I would think if you knew what it's original projection were, you wouldn't need nearly as many reference points. Applogies if you explained it in the video, I skimmed through it, but doesn't have the time to watch the whole thing now. Cool project!
I can see my house!
