A Visibility Test on Spot5 Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Two visibility tests have been made on a fusion of panchromatic and multi-spectral SPOT5 images. The tests differ in the type of regions (sub-urban versus rural) and in the panchromatic image resolution (5m versus 3m). Two independent photo-interpretors had to extract the road network and the built-up area on part of a georeferenced image. The resulting shapes were compared with the actual database. Two methods were used for this comparison. It appears that the visibility is highly dependent on the experience of the photo-interpretor. The expert reaches a rate of approximately 85% of road detection in all regions, more than 85% of the built-up area in the sub-urban region, and approximately 65% in the rural one.

Radiometric Block-adjustment of Satellite Images Reference3d® Production Line Improvement
One layer of global geographic database Reference3D® is an image mosaic (5m resolution) made exclusively from panchromatic SPOT5-HRS images. In order to improve Reference3D® production line, in particular SPOT5 HRS images mosaicking step, a new strategy of radiometric block adjustment of satellite images was developed, implemented and tested at French mapping agency IGN. By analogy with “geomet...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF EPHEMERIDES AND GCPs DISTRIBUTION IN HIGH RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES MODELLING
The geometric resolution of the images coming from the new generation satellites is almost competitive with that found in the trational aerial photograms. The aim of this work is to define the role of satellite ephemerides and to optimise the number and distribution of Ground Control Points (GCPs) for the image registration. A zone of the Campania region in Italy has been used as a test area: i...
متن کاملDeveloping an Integrated System for Extracting the Sub-fields within Agricultural Parcels from Remote Sensing Images
An integrated system was developed to detect sub-fields within agricultural parcels from remote sensing images. The permanent field boundaries are known and stored in a database. The detection of the sub-fields is carried out on field-by-field basis. The fields are selected one-by-one through a database query. The remotely sensed image is filtered using the Canny edge detector. The detected edg...
متن کاملUnsupervised feature selection applied to SPOT5 satellite images indexing
Satellite images are numerous and weakly exploited: it is urgent to develop efficient and fast indexing algorithms to facilitate their access. In order to determinate the best features to be extracted, we propose a methodology based on automatic feature selection algorithms, applied unsupervisingly on a strongly redundant features set. In this article we also demonstrate the usefulness of conse...
متن کاملOn-board optical image compression for future high resolution remote sensing systems
Future high resolution instruments planned by CNES to succeed SPOT5 will lead to higher bit rates because of the increase in both resolution and number of bits per pixel, not compensated by the reduced swath. Data compression is then needed, with compression ratio goals higher than the 2.81 SPOT5 value obtained with a JPEG like algorithm. Compression ratio should rise typically to 4-6 values, w...
