What is OpenAerialMap?
OpenAerialMap is an open service that provides a centralized platform for discovering, sharing, and utilizing openly licensed aerial and satellite imagery. It solves the problem of fragmented geospatial data by creating a commons where users can access imagery for mapping, analysis, and humanitarian efforts. The project uses the STAC standard to enable efficient indexing and discovery of geospatial assets.
Geospatial developers, humanitarian mappers, disaster response teams, environmental researchers, and drone/satellite imagery providers who need to share or access open geospatial data.
Developers choose OpenAerialMap because it provides a standardized, scalable, and community-driven platform for open imagery, unlike proprietary or siloed solutions. Its use of STAC ensures interoperability, while its open-source nature allows for customization and self-hosting.
