Good news for remote sensing industry and for the satellite images users. WorldView-3 images will be accessible for public (not for free ) starting from may 2015 ! WorldView-3 images will have the best spatial resolution existing, for civilian customers: 0.31 m for b&w band and 1 m for multispectral bands. http://www.spacenews.com/article/civil-space/40874us-government-eases-restrictions-on-digitalglobe I belive this event and future events for new and better high-resolution satellite images developments will force also the image interpretation and information extraction softwares to develop. New or improved techniques such as Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA- eCognition) will probably benefit from this new era of remote sensing industry. Softwares and applications that will better incorporate Remote Sensing with GIS and statistics will be forced to develope to keep up with technology evolution.
