Geometric Evaluation and Validation of Aerial and Satellite Data Using Sioux Falls Geometric Test Range
نویسندگان
چکیده
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed the first of a series of geometric test ranges over Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The purposes of these test ranges are for evaluating, validating and characterizing high resolution satellite and aerial images. The Sioux Falls test range uses accurate and standardized high resolution aerial orthophotos as a reference dataset to compare and characterize the geometric accuracy of satellite and aerial images. This paper first provides a report on the characteristics of the test range and the accuracy of the reference data. The paper goes on to show the use of automated image assessment methodology and results for the geometric assessment of GeoEye image using the reference imagery over the test range.

Evaluation of Geometric and Atmospheric Doppler for GNSS-RO Payloads
To reduce the sampling rate in global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-radio occultation receivers, it is essential to establish a suitable estimation of Doppler frequency from the received signal in the satellite onboard receiver. This receiver is usually located on low earth orbit satellite and receives GNSS satellites signal in the occultation situation. The occurred Doppler on the signal ...

Abstract. Highly accurate geometric correction is necessary for high-resolution data. Then, it is important to acquire the high accuracy Ground Control Point (GCP) and corresponded Image Control Points (ICPs) for geometric correction. The objective of this study is evaluation of GCP type for high-resolution satellite image. In this study, following two types of GCP was selected: 1)Polygon in fi...
