چکیده
On October 8, 2009, WorldView-2 joined its sister satellites, WorldView-1 and QuickBird, in orbit. WorldView-2 is a remote-sensing satellite principally used to capture high-resolution images of the earth. The images provided by the satellite can be used for applications such as mapping, land planning, disaster relief, exploration, defense and intelligence, visualization and simulation of environments, and classification. WorldView-2 was designed and developed by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp, US, and is operated by DigitalGlobe Corporate (DigitalGlobe). The satellite can swing rapidly from one target to another, allowing broad images of many targets. The satellite was launched into orbit through the Ball commercial platform (BCP) 5000 spacecraft bus on the piggyback of Boeing Delta II on 8 October 2009. Worldview2 can operate at an altitude of 770km with an inclination of 97.2° for a maximum orbital period of 100 minutes. Worldview-2 is the third satellite in orbit in DigitalGlobe's constellation, and joins its forerunners Worldview-1 (launched in 2007) and QuickBird (launched in 2001). The satellite has been designed to have a lifespan of 7.5 years.

Digital Image Watermarking with 1/T Rate Forward Error Correction to Malicious Attacks
In this paper, a copyright protection method for digital image with 1/T rate forward error correction (FEC) is proposed. In the proposed method, the original image is lossless and the watermark is robust to malicious attacks including geometric attacks such as scaling, rotation, cropping, print-photocopy-scan, and scaling-cropping attacks and nongeometric attacks such as low-pass filtering, sha...
متن کاملSatellite Multispectral Image Enhancement Based on Pan-Sharpening under NSCT
In real time remote sensing it is necessary to know the quality of images obtained from the different satellite sensors. Pan-sharpening enhances the spatial information of input raw multispectral images. This paper focuses on the evaluation and analysis of eight frequently used image quality assessment methods to determine the preservation of spectral and spatial integrity in the pan-sharpened ...

متن کاملIncreasing Geometric Resolution of Data Supplied by Quickbird Multispectral Sensors
On board of Quickbird satellite two types of sensors are present: panchromatic and multispectral. The first acquires earth images within spectral range 0.405 μm – 1.053 μm; the second acquires simultaneously four images of the same scene, each of them within shorter range of spectrum (Blue, Green, Red, Near-Infrared). Panchromatic images present geometric resolution 0.60 m while multispectral o...
متن کاملApplication of Different Pan-sharpening Methods on Worldview-3 Images
In the field of the remote sensing, the introduction of high resolution satellite sensors has required the development of several data fusion approaches. Two kinds of images are usually acquired: multispectral and panchromatic. The first group has a lower spatial resolution but accurate spectral information while the second presents a higher spatial resolution with a longer band acquisition ran...
متن کاملA genetic approach to Pan-sharpening of multispectral images
This paper presents a novel image fusion method, suitable for sharpening of multispectral (MS) images by means of a panchromatic (Pan) observation, based on a modified generalized intensity-hue-saturation algorithm: the MS bands expanded to the finer scale of the Pan image are sharpened by adding the spatial details derived from a difference image, which is calculated by the Pan image and a lin...
