| Abstract | Developed jointly by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) and the Canadian Centre for Geomatics (CCG), the Remote Sensing Image Correction System (RSIC) is able to correct and geometrically
rectify, for a single image or a stereo couple, raw images of different remote sensing sources: SPOT-HRV (High Resolution) panchromatic (PLA) or multispectral (MLA) images, Landsat-TM (Thematic Mapper) multispectral images. In a near future, CCRS
should improve this system to correct other types of satellite images: multispectral MOS-MESSR, SEASAT-SAR and airborne SAR images. When new satellite imagery will be available (J-ERS, ERS-1, RADARSAT), RSIC will be easily adapted to accept these new
images with few modifications. This paper describes the methodology, the various steps and the computer tools needed to create ortho-images using a rigorous geometric correction model already developed by CCRS. |
