The information contents of high resolution space images, usable for mapping, are not only depending upon the image resolution that means in case of digital data, depending upon the pixel size in the object space. Important is also the contrast, the spectral range, radiometric resolution and colour beside the atmospheric condition and the object contrast. From the area of Zonguldak, Turkey diff...

Only few space images do have a perspective geometry like aerial cameras. But also the Russian perspective photos do have not negligible systematic image errors. By this reason special mathematical models have to be used for a correct handling of the space images. Polynomial models, often used for remote sensing purposes, are no economic solutions because they do mix the influence of the sensor...
