description

This article reviews the different aspects of geometrical processing of remote sensing data, discussing error sources and methods to determine the transformation from the image acquisition geometry to the output cartographic product. Resampling methods are discussed to transform the input image to the output geometry. Several practical examples of remote sensing platforms are discussed, including satellite cases and airborne sensors. Validation of the resulting geometrical processed products is also discussed. Spatial mosaicking techniques and multitemporal composites used to produce multisource integrated products and advanced applications are finally considered, keeping a perspective on the coming data sources and processing methods to handle the large amounts of data currently provided by operational satellites. Keywords: image registration; image resampling; remote sensing; satellite data processing
