Iran Develops Super-Resolution Satellite Imaging Technology
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s homegrown Khayyam satellite, which was launched into orbit in 2022, has captured super-resolution images, an official said.
Director of the Iranian Space Research Center Hassan Salariyeh announced on Friday that the super-resolution images taken by Khayyam satellite have been generated in cooperation with the domestic knowledge-based companies.
The advanced satellite imagery technology has allowed for the generation of images with 35 to 45 centimeter resolution, he noted.
Describing the super-resolution images as a testimony to Iran’s significant progress in the space industry, Salariyeh said the images have been produced with special computational techniques and modern processing methods without the need for auxiliary data.
The official noted that the SR images has many practical applications in natural resources management, agriculture, urban planning, and environmental protection.
According to Salariyeh, the domestically-produced SR images outperform the foreign ones in terms of costs, generation time, and obtainability.
Apart from fulfilling domestic demands in various sectors, the super-resolution imagery technology can be exported to the other countries, he noted.
