What is the maximum resolution of the panchromatic sensor on WorldView-3?

The maximum resolution of the panchromatic sensor on WorldView-3 is indeed 0.31 meters. This high level of resolution allows for extremely detailed imagery that can be used for various applications, including urban planning, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. The panchromatic sensor combines brightness information across a broad spectrum of wavelengths, resulting in high contrast and clarity in the images captured, which is critical for analyzing and interpreting geographic features.

The resolution of 0.31 meters means that each pixel represents a 0.31-meter square on the ground, making it one of the highest resolutions available among commercial satellite imagery. This capability is crucial for users who need detailed mapping and analysis at a finer scale, such as infrastructure inspections or land use studies, where clarity and detail are paramount for making informed decisions.

In contrast, the other options represent higher pixel sizes, indicating lower resolution capabilities. While they may still provide useful information, they do not match the level of detail that 0.31 meters offers. Thus, the choice of 0.31 meters accurately reflects the advanced imaging capabilities of WorldView-3's panchromatic sensor.
