Bare Soil & Bare Land Satellite Images – Urban Vacant-Land Views from China's 0.8 m GF-2 Satellite
This is a use case of China's first 0.8 m-resolution satellite — Gaofen-2 (GF-2) for urban vacant-land monitoring, including bare-soil satellite images and bare-land satellite images. With 0.8 m resolution, bare soil or bare land larger than 10 m × 10 m can be clearly observed. Imagery is updated about once a month at an affordable price of about 100 yuan per km²; monitoring one city each time costs 20,000–30,000 yuan on average.

✅ Why GF-2 for bare-land monitoring?
- 0.8 m detail clearly separates bare soil, construction sites and vegetated land.
- Wide swath + monthly revisit, ideal for city-wide vacant-land inspection.
- Domestic data (China) with fast delivery and low cost.
📌 Typical workflow
- 1. Order monthly GF-2 coverage over the city.
- 2. Extract patches > 10 m × 10 m (bare soil / bare land).
- 3. Compare periods & dispatch field inspection.
