GEOMETRIC CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION OF ULTRACAM AERIAL SENSORS

UltraCam Photogrammetric Digital Aerial Cameras

Geometric Calibration and Validation of ASAR Imagery

We describe work conducted to calibrate and then validate the geometry of ENVISAT ASAR products. A systematic error in range location was observed in ASAR products during the commissioning phase. A careful and complete analysis has been performed to establish the precise error. It has been compensated by updating the range gate bias (or sampling window start time bias). Validation of the absolu...

Calibrating and Testing New Ultracam Sensors

This contribution reports on the latest design of new UltraCam sensors. We present results from calibration and verification flights of the UltraCam Condor, which is based on a specific design and offers highest productivity from its 38000 pixel cross track image format. UltraCam Condor is based on the successful project experience with its predecessor, the UltraCam G.

Geometric Calibration of the Digital Large Format Aerial Camera Ultracamd

The evaluation of the geometric performance of the novel digital large format camera UltraCamD is the topic of this presentation. We describe the concept of the geometric calibration by means of a bundle adjustment. Based on the specific design of the camera additional parameters were defined and the bundle adjustment software BINGO was modified in order to handle these parameters. The entire c...

Geometric Calibration and Validation of Kompsat-3A AEISS-A Camera

Kompsat-3A, which was launched on 25 March 2015, is a sister spacecraft of the Kompsat-3 developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). Kompsat-3A's AEISS-A (Advanced Electronic Image Scanning System-A) camera is similar to Kompsat-3's AEISS but it was designed to provide PAN (Panchromatic) resolution of 0.55 m, MS (multispectral) resolution of 2.20 m, and TIR (thermal infrared) at...
