Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE)

October 8, 2024

The Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) was formed to leverage resources from several Federal agencies for the characterization of remote sensing data and to share those results across the remote sensing community (U.S. Geological Survey, 2024).

Remote sensing data and the quality of that data are vital to (1) understanding the physical world and (2) supporting the science and engineering applications that strive to advance that understanding. The growing number of remotely sensed data sources offers users more choices. Understanding the characteristics and capabilities of current and new data sources, along with the quality of data they provide, is an important function of the multi-agency JACIE team. By performing data-quality analysis of civil and commercial remote sensing data and information products, the JACIE team provides the remote sensing community with awareness and independent verification of image data quality.
