Indian Remote Sensing Satellite: Geocoding and DEM Extraction

The present technology does not permit the 7-μm CCD push broom optical sensor to image a region of 70 km. Therefore the IRS –1C satellite use three separate 4096 CCD push broom optical sensor resulting in three array images. Two different methods to ortho-rectify and mosaic the three IRS-1 array images are presented. Results using the CCRS modelling show an accuracy of about one pixel. Future r...

Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing

A new aerosol retrieval algorithm is presented which computes the spectral opti-cal depth over the ocean from spaceborne radiometers. It includes both multiplescattering and the bi-directional re ectance of the ocean surface. The algorithmis applied to data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2).This radiometer aboard the ERS-2 satellite has 4 bands in the visible a...
